Why not continue to use early versions of PGP?

I forget the version, but there was one PGP version (2.3? 2.13? 2.4? something like that) that had a bug in it that allowed arbitrarily large bit-depths rather than just 40 or 256 or 1024 or 2048. This was 20 years ago, so my memory is a bit fuzzy there.

You think he "actually means that"?!
It's much easier to take it as a "position piece" that in one of seven ways was in his interest to post! It's far from clear who actually means anything these days! (Except DC. Because Mouser is a minor deity!)
All news is The Onion these days. That's the ultra meta point of the Onion!
:tellme: :mad: :'(
