Bob:

No argument here. Too bad Harper's doesn't web publish its articles; they
had a colloquy on the subject in a very recent issue. Worth checking out.

Here's a question, however: how many people here use PGP in their private
email? I can't seem to get any of my friends to use it, yet they claim to be
concerned about privacy. PGP partisans compare sending unencrypted email to
sending all your regular mail on the back of postcards. If we are concerned
about privacy, how come we don't act like it?
