Voluntarily removing this message because I don't think it holds with the rules of HN. I wish I could have a productive conversation on this topic, but it seems like it's not in the cards. Hope you have a good day, otherwise.

I am having a GREAT day (hiccup!).

I didn't see your original message but I'm sure it was well-intentioned and wrong. I am wrong often too. Just not this time.

Taking back an HN post you think will be taken as uncivil is a strong move. Respect for taking the community seriously. There's nothing personal in my criticism of encrypted email; it's the technology I hate, not the people behind it.

Well, I would be remiss if I didn't say that I also take you seriously and respect you. I also don't think you are wrong... at least in the way you are looking at it. I think there are other ways to look at it, though. Still, no excuse for me being grumpy.
