It kind of sounds like you've really already made your decision to
allow it unless you get arguments that you consider to be valid
points against it. :)
I do know that in several other echos, moderators have told people
not to use PGP signatures, as they consider them to be a waste
of space. I personally won't be using PGP in Fido. I see no need
to protect what I write, as none of it is of any import.
