> gghello there, gg...i am fine, despite some real and likely overblown events on the homefront. i have caught up on sleep, am winding down, and working early mornings, not ideal, but regular.
i have to re\"evaluate the quality of service provided me by my ISP - based on their own statements, to clarify - and deal with a little security issue with a wonky ip routing table. and a visitor.
the issue of secure communication as posed to rainbowbrite can likely be addressed by inserting a soft link, i suspect, pointing to the local directory where the chosen few can chat quietly amongst themselves.
``Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean people are not out to hide their conversations from you.''
in the interest of fairness, is it not high time that these following lines be posted? some members of the PB crowd are susceptible to real or imagined slights and i imagine paranoid ideation might result. unfortunately, they would be correct in this case.
why the overseers and participants have carried on like this for almost 2 months - if not longer - is only making some of us (not i) feel excluded for the very real reason being that, well, we are.
here are the first few lines of document source of a post off the Admin board (the first row is white space):

<title>Psycho-Babble Administration</title>nice work.
i suggest activating gpg-agent and when PB members sign up, a key pair is generated automatically. the babblemails can be encrypted on the host server (the secret ring is resident, public keys signed and exported to the round-robin keyserver net) when sent locally between parties.
further, the emanating redirect can also be encrypted or at least signed, as all PBers will have a public key of their own and the secret keys stay on the PB server.
heck, even if it doesn't work out, it beats the slimy way y'all are going about it now, does it not?
all the best, chemist
