And watch this thread wander off to the woods on whether no-stars is more secure than stars, and whether significantly so. Fascinating :-) Cheers - -- t -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlo+lcoACgkQBcgs9XrR2kY/MACeOf6uPfzI3qSlzcqwR5cCSw43 avwAn0PNRC7dabhyHdGHbNEjFbuyJUai =o6R9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
