Believe it or not, I do not agree with the Free Software Foundation. (I've said this before: perhaps you didn't see it.) That does not change the fact that on a mailing list run by an FSF project, I believe it is only reasonable to comply with their request that non-free software, in the FSF sense of 'free software', not be recommended. >>> And there was no disrespect intended from what I can see.

Read your own words, please. You're the one who said the GnuPG product, not the GPA product. > I could yes, but perhaps you should look for yourself since you have > never seen it, by your own admission.

Your very actions are contrary to your > purported opinion. I never said GPGshell shouldn't be *discussed*. I said that the Free Software Foundation would much rather that non-free software was not *recommended* on FSF-related mailing lists. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
