no way to prove you're MFPA. So I can't sign your key.
If you knew me personally, you could.
And as I already said, do you know MFPA's not my legal identity?
There used to be somebody in my town who had officially changed his
name to FREFF. (Never did understand why.)

Interesting to see, among some apt comments about identity
and presumptions about identity, a little information being
leaked. Now all the serious ones, or maybe the merely curious,
have to do is to search "FREFF"--or maybe buy from Google the
info Google has about FREFF if nothing can be found easily by
a free, ordinary user search--and find out a beginning of how
to track down MFPA so they can verify his key in person. :-)
Also, IIRC MFPA never made any assertion about his "name",
though others seem to have assumed it is a pseudonym or etc,
which has been interesting to observe as examples of
presumption at work. Maybe he just has some four-long-word
name so he uses his initials, etc?
