  This is a test message. I'm curious how this PGP thing works.
  To test it out, I am trying here to post a message that appears
  to have been posted by Gollan. If anyone out there has PGP
  installed, I'd be curious to see what it tells you about
  this message.

    Just so there is no confusion, I posted the previous message. I'm just curious to see what this PGP stuff actually buys us.

      It would be good if it actually worked. Here is what I got:

      I would never know that that wasn't the real Gollan. All I see is the PGP stuff... I don't know how to read it.

      Just so there is no confusion, I posted the previous message. I'm just curious to see what this PGP stuff actually buys us.

        You don't read it. You have to download the PGP software. Then, you have to choose to ask the software to verify the message. As I think my post demonstrates, a message cannot by itself be demonstrated to be a fraud. It is only a fraud in the context of a previously trusted signature.

        Let's say, for example, that you take my message and import the key into the PGP software. Then, the real Gollan's messages appear bogus.

          Too bad it doesn't keep it from showing up on the board. Guess it's just for peace of mind?
