Yup you're absolutely correct. However, thats why it will never see widespread use - BLU folks aren't the average user and the average user will never jump through those kinds of hurdles. PGP out of the box is a PIA, with some really neat features. I've been doing some research, that at least I find interesting, to make it PGP useable; if I can ever get one of the papers published it may even make a neat talk.
