TestingUnoDosTre: I understand that
benkay: 's where the buttsecks be, TestingUnoDosTre.
TestingUnoDosTre: with craigslist, I can tell someone that my name is Joe schmoe, I'll be wearing this or that, and meet me at the coffee shop

BingoBoingo: TestingUnoDosTre: It's just questions that it asks, because it can put that information in the public key if you want it there.
TestingUnoDosTre: okay this will probably illustrate how niave I am, but what's with gnupg keys asking for real names and email addresses?
