    > WHY? I don't use it

    I really like this write up, but for all the wrong reasons..

    {if you see you're, you your I'm aiming towards the OA}

    You're proving the reasons I and many others do.

    >PGP users are a niche market That's another statement that is kinda strange..

    > It's too hard. Just that. 'It's too hard. Just that. GPG has countless command line options'

    Well... When you have no interest in it, you don't like it but you wrote an article about it being wrong, so lets continue.

    >Let it be known that I'm not just giving up! I still care about security and privacy just as much as always. So what will I use instead of PGP?

    Great idea, lets see what you have to offer... ('An ad-hoc web of trust already exists though') 'No, it's not as secure as PGP can be'

    You know you're feeding something not as secure.

    So here is where I fall out. Good luck.

    Whoever wrote this really needs a bit more experience or advice from someone who actually knows what they're talking about.
