Hey Bill.  I've kept out of this because I really don't
care one way or the other.  (Although I do get a little
urinated off when a see a msg with two lines and a PGP
sig of 10.)  Heck I can't even figure out how to use
PGP to encrypt msgs.  I do use it to encrypt files that
I don't want any one to read.  We all have things we
want to keep from the wife don't we? 
Ok enough chit-chat.  If you question the FIDO legality
or your authority to moderate PGP sigs then why not ask
the FIDO bosses?  The node or zone god should be able
to tell you.  BTW you are correct (everybody gets lucky
ever now and again ) Policy 4 is really vague on the
point.  Then again I think you could declare them
excessively annoying.
                      Remember:  Freedom isn't Free!
