hey multi...enlighten my feeble mind, then:

with regards to security and the posting of keys, i was under the impression that it did not matter if our keys were public, because in order for someone else to get on the network, we would also have to load their key. therefore, some intruder could have everyone's key but as long as no one loaded his key, he would never have access. this is not correct?

of course, i just woke up and if my logic is deeply flawed, feel free to point that out
