[Ir-l] [IR-L]: Re: RIP (fwd)

[Jon]

This is a damned fine idea. I am quite interested in PGP for all the
reasons
that I have been reading about in this list. It isn't that I have
anything to
hide, it is that it rankles to see a bunch'a bozos in law enforcement
and government attack its use by citizens for Christ's sake!

As of yet I cannot make head or tails of how to go about using it.
Am working on it. Between arcane subject matter, limited time and the
fact that the info isn't all in one spot in readable form for the
interested
layman, I'm screwed.

If somebody gets a user friendly tutorial together and begins to
circulate
it, I'm sure your efforts would be widely appreciated.

Seriously,

Jon Stoneman
