Only people I know of who believe this kind of thing either work for a
University or a Religious mission of some sort.

I notice from the stuff that's coming to me from the SuSE security
list and the GNUPG list that the subject of security holes in GNUPG
and PGP 5.5 to 6.0 and above is being hotly debated everywhere.

Last time I was this was in the 1970s and 80s when a completely new
encryption scheme came into being.  Perhaps we are about to see "the
new game" or the latest misinformation skit ?

Thanks
