So, you're saying that people paste their key online so they don't have to carry it around on a USB stick? Wow.

He didn't say it was the right way to do it. He didn't even say what he was describing was a good idea. He just offered an answer to the question, "Why would people copy a private key around?". Obviously, people are doing it for some reason, misguided as the reason may be.

That's what I meant. I simply could't believe that someone would do this.
