Jack, I would like to personally extend an invitation to both you and
Warren to join our PGP-Basics Group... I think you would find it very
beneficial and absolutely flame-proof... something I insist on, as the
majority of our Membership are people like yourself that are just
starting out with PGP, and as such, we go to great lengths to encourage
List participation, so please don't ever think you have to take anything
off-List as a Member of PGP-Basics.
We are getting more and more TBUDL/TBBETA Members joining PGP-Basics all
the time. :o)

Yes, Kevin seems to have a pretty good understanding of PGP, and I
believe has answered your question. If you are still unsure, please join
our Group and ask away. I'd like to see both you and Warren join anyway! :o)
