I think you're carrying the issue to a depth beyond what's actually under discussion. If we were making business deals, creating legal agreements of some kind, then I agree that pgp signing and the like is probably a good idea. But. This is a technical mailing list, and a relatively high-volume one at that. I think there is a different level of, shall we say, vigilance required on a technical mailing list than there would be on some kind of a high-security operation. The mailing list itself should absolutely be operated in a relatively secure manner to prevent spam and the like. But within the list itself, I don't think it's necessary to go to great lengths to provide a mechanism for non-repudiation. If someone posts something and it wasn't me, I'll tell you that it wasn't me if it's important and if someone asks. That doesn't require a digital signature. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com DRY CLEANER BUSINESS FOR SALE ~ http://www.canadadrycleanerforsale.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
