9 No, actually I'm not confused as to the difference between a key pair
10 and a signature (been using pgp/gnupg for years), but to get one you
11 need the other, and users who have no idea where to begin with signing
12 most likely don't have a key pair to start with. It all depends on how
13 you interpret the question.

16 As for "out-of-order" posting: when there is a short answer to a short
17 question, I *really* don't see the point, or the point of making it a
18 point considering it's a 4-line answer of a 3-line question.

20 For long detailed answers to a long question, yes, I agree 100%
21 (top-posting), but in this situation it was not the case.
