I did not realize it was a private message; it was threaded with all
the other messages of the same topic. I apologize and I will certainly
make sure to read header info to make sure it was from the list next time.
I see that GnuPG-Users was sent a carbon copy, so quoting this to the
list should be fine. ;-)

I think that stems from the fact that written language can't hold that
context very well, so one is forced to interpret it.
On a side note, I think written language was really only intended for
formal things (widespread literacy is relatively new), and we haven't
had time to adapt it enough to make it replace spoken language.

I thought its absurdity was enough of a clue. I guess I was wrong.
