Yes. Two weeks ago I discovered that, as installed on my Debian up to date Debian systems, gpg does not actually encrypt a file. Not without disabling the absurd behavior of keeping the password around, and using it without asking me when I go to view the file. Richard and list folk! Please forgive me, but I will not be able to take much part, if any, in further conversation about this until some day likely a month from now. oo--JS.
