I'm not a fan of comparisons at all, but I'd say my e-mail address feels more like my postal address, thus I tend to handle them similarly. But wouldn't you replace or enforce the lock on your front door once s.o. made it in? At least you would still keep locking it, wouldn't you? ; ) /Holger _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
