I refer you back to the part of the FAQ which says the certificate signing process is controversial because every Tom, Dick, and Harry has their own idea on how to do it. If you can convince the list that the FAQ needs updating, I'll update it. But otherwise, I'm going to consider this yet another opinion on what the right thing to do is, and although I certainly think it's on topic for the list, I'm not going to consider changing the FAQ until and unless there's buy-in from others. :) > PS: I am no German speaker, so I have no idea what Raubritters are. Or > what would that term be used for 30 years ago, fwiw. Nabokov once said that translations were like women: the beautiful ones weren't faithful, and the faithful ones weren't beautiful. Literally, "raubritter" means "robber-knight" and historically refers to minor nobility in the medieval period who extorted money out of anyone they could. In English literature, these figures are normally called "black knights". Use whichever meaning you want. :) _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
