I do not remember me saying "a secret key published on Usenet". When did I say that?

I don't think the France is an exception in this matter. http://www.ssi.gouv.fr/fr/faq/faq_sigelec2.html#1 -- Mathieu Roy Homepage: http://yeupou.coleumes.org Not a native english speaker: http://stock.coleumes.org/doc.php?i=/misc-files/flawed-english
