Gee you lead a boring life. by my standards at least. We have a waffle iron, a boat, a cat and a dog, and I fish two or three times a month. > Likewise, you cannot make somebody who doesn't care about encryption and > isn't interested in it use an encryption tool by making it easier to > use.

But? I *guarantee* you that if you make it difficult to use you will not 'sell' many modules. You, and your geeky friends, can encrypt to each other and have what we used to call a circle jerk and the rest of the world will move on without you. BTW? When it is only 'you and your friends' encrypting just who do you thing that 'they' will be watching? You might just need to put another layer of tin foil on the walls and another tin foil hat your head. Have a great night. -- David
