All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

by signing all my email with pgp, it just authenticates it and means nobody can forge it, since it wont match my key.

its just a paranoia security thing :) no biggie, just a safety measure.
