Sorry Merlin, I just gotta...

Sorry Merlin, I just gotta roll this way, ever since I read that article about how english is understandable, even if a few letters are off….. Spelling just doesn’t seem to crack my top ten list anymore…

As for Gordon’s comment: “Write up how I can EASILY start sending encrypted email and I’ll use it.”

I already have, and I am delighted to link it to you once more.

Not only can you set up encrypted email easilly, you can now do so with entirely open source components, from the Thunderbird Reader, to the Enigmail Plugin, to the GNUpg encryption system.

I strongly suggest that you encrypt your email in the future, as the alternative is to send it over the internet using plain text.

At least you can gladly celebrate that I didn’t use any foul language in my comment. I should get some points for that at least.

And as for the self-link, self promotion issue, I’m happy to self promote as my webpages include no advertisements and I do not profit off them.

How many in this digital age can say the same?
