I can guess why you're being downvoted, but your comment is ironically correct. It /does/ say something about them! But what that is depends on who you ask. And that, again, says something about /them/.

Which says something about the downvoters.

Irony everywhere.

People are getting offended, but I could have replaced Windows with almost anything. Our choices say things about us. Getting back to the subject at hand, though, I assume 'moxie meant that people who choose to use GPG for casual conversation must be slightly masochistic and therefore slightly less likely to have something interesting to say.

... just like Windows users ;)

Yes, of course, but I'm very curious about moxie's interpretation of what using GPG says about the people who randomly email him; certainly more curious than constructing my own stereotype.

Get out of your bubble. Windows is ubiquitous. It has 90% of the desktop market share. There is no generalization you can come up with about that many people.

'People who use Windows do not have both the intelligence not to desire it and the power to do as they wish.'

I think the OP meant that, given a choice, say, of getting a Mac or a Windows PC at work, you voluntarily pick the Windows PC.

That's also a false dichotomy, a dangerous one at that. Sort of like two party system.
