NP - it was like a bad itch ;-)

Kept hoping it would go away and had to keep scratching it.

To be technically accurate I actually used gpg (as opposed to gpg2).

I still don't completely understand how it happens as I am no guru on

But it seems some keys get 'spammed' some how. The worst offender
was some bloke called errrr... Phil Zimmermann :-)

Damn I wish email encryption was easier....
