      In my opinion it does.  As one who does NOT do PGP, that collection of
bytes could be anything, including the formula for another Oklahoma City 
explosive (not that I'm suggesting it was).  As such, the only thing allowed 
in *any* of the echos that I moderate will be plain text.  I refer you to two 
sections of the rules for this echo, which are posted monthly.
      First, section 6, which was the second one she broke (the first being
offtopic):
 6. There will be no usage of any high ASCII characters, BBS colour control
    codes, or PGP 'signatures'.  Standard signatures are requested to be
    only one line, but may NOT exceed two lines at the most.
      And now, the one that you broke, section 12:
12. Messages from the Moderator concerning enforcement of the rules are not
    considered off-topic, however, neither are they topics for general
    discussion by anyone other than the Moderator and the person being
    addressed. i.e., if the Moderator deems it necessary to write a person
    in the echo who is in violation of the rules, it is not a sign that the
    topic is a free for all and everyone can jump in.  Discussion should
    remain between the Moderator and the person being addressed only! (Just
    a further clarification of "Let the Moderator Moderate!)
      If you feel that you must continue this, please use netmail!
