Attention Charles Lindsey, PLEASE FIX YOUR DUFF PGP--SIG

[Dave Bird]

 Oh the shame of it:  found on the crypto list issuing
 articles with duff code-signatures.  If nothing else,
 turn your PGP-sig off... it is no use to me or anyone
 else if it is faulty.

 Erm... yes. I can quite believe it is that user's client software doing 
 it rather than TP;  I don't know enough about the internals to tell.

 I'll get onto him to fix it.  Sorry to have wasted your time......
