Let me explain this email for the uncommon circumstances and big heads on the subject line. This was just a request not an authoritative (must do) and certainly not spam as some have had a concern over. If I do not have your public key in my keyring then I do not want it, do not need it and have no use for it at this time. This keeps my keyring small and manageable. I do not feel the need to explain my process or setup on this matter as this email was intended as just a request as I don't see the need to sign a message to a mailing list when the information that is contained in more than half of the incoming email is not important enough to be signed. For an example of the emails I am referring to (ports@): "I am having problems with such/and/such/port/" Why should it be signed ? I understand, shit happens.... but I don't need to verify that it happened to Random Joe. Now on the other hand I firmly believe that a patch that is submitted by a maintainer or someone @FreeBSD.org should be signed. I am not referring to these emails at all in the last message and I apologize if that was unrecognizable to you. There is a purpose for signing messages that contain information that someone needs to verify is actually from a trusted source but not all information that is transmitted needs to be verified. And that is all I was referring to when saying use your best judgment. I will not be posting back on this subject as I never intended for this to be a off topic matter (just a request).
