This *is* the strategy that most people use for PGP. > Thanks for the advice but I think I'll pass. You are entitled to maintain whatever local policy for signing you want: but, it weakens your position in a web of trust if your signatures are 'weaker' than other peoples. It means any trust path that flows through a signature of yours is suspect. GPG lets you choose a 'trust level' for keys. I'd suggest at least using a low-level value for keys you haven't validated. -- Jon Dowland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
