What does this mean, and why is your post rendered with a yellow
background?

Thanks,

If it's the message starting this particular thread, it should be fine.
It verifies fine on this end. I don't know if the different versions of
pgp are all still compatible.

The PGP encryption/signature program builds a unique signature for each
message. When the barnacle posing as me in several newsgroups copies and
pastes a signature to one of his messages, the numbers don't jive, hence
the lack of verification. Even one character difference in the body
makes the copied signature invalid.

If you are using pgp, the following keyservers should be included in
your settings.

hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371
hkp://pgp.mit.edu:11371

I hate this bs, but don't see any other way of protecting myself. The
impostor has been sending racist crap in my name to some other groups.
The pgp stuff gives me a way of proving I didn't commit some sort of
online crime.

I can see the future being completely screwed up by the juveniles, such
as Nymbecile, Josepi, etc. etc., with mandatory posting ID
implementation. The government will be doing it for our own protection.
