You might want to think twice about that once I've had my say.

I hate to break this to you, but the two following suggestions are exactly what
encryptions were meant to do, and did, in the first place. If you look at the
old postings, and even the more recent ones from the old timers (Me, Ed,
and Dan as good examples) you will see that this is how we use encryptions.
The newer crowd (no insult intended) is using Encryption for fun and as an
excuse or replacement for real creativity. Thus we do not need "PRIVATE"s and
"NOT TO"s. We need people to use encryptions correctly and for the proper
reasons.

I was going to respond to Doom's post today, but found yours much more handy.

On a related subject, I think that there needs to be another Crackdown (or maybe
a first crackdown) on all those people who keep on ignoring the posting
guidelines.
