No more PGP signatures

I'm going to stop using PGP signatures in email messages that I send. While it can be satisfying to sign off on every email by entering a PGP passphrase, it is just not worth the effort anymore. Not enough other people use them, and many of those who don't use them get confused when they receive these messages, due to their email clients sucking.

Geez, you only now that nobody else uses crypto?

Heh, I stopped doing that years ago when I realized that nobody else cared %u2013 and I discovered that I didn't care either!
