	Thanks for the info, Steve.  *sigh* It is so disheartening to see
that sort of demand made on a product that can only thrive and improve in
an atmosphere of open and unfettered critique.  It pains me to see the PGP
name mixed up with such nonsense.  I sincerely doubt Phil Zimmerman would
ever have approved.

	It is indeed a sad day when hubris is held at a priority higher
than progress.
