No, actually I'm not confused as to the difference between a key pair and a signature (been using pgp/gnupg for years), but to get one you need the other, and users who have no idea where to begin with signing most likely don't have a key pair to start with. It all depends on how you interpret the question. <@ Alexander> As for "out-of-order" posting: when there is a short answer to a short question, I *really* don't see the point, or the point of making it a point considering it's a 4-line answer of a 3-line question. For long detailed answers to a long question, yes, I agree 100% (top-posting), but in this situation it was not the case.
