there is nothing contradictory in having a PGP hook in Opus to that 
philosophy. and trust has nothing to do with using PGP for routing or 
clear-signing since Opus is not FidoNet and cannot control anything outside 
its own sphere.
 
Opus used to be about getting the most out of the technology. has that 
changed?
 
QOFM.
