[Cryptography] Why gpg?

I’ve been a long time MacOS tester for gpg.

Why?

If nothing else it let's me generate test
vectors for almost any olde weird, eerie set
of bizarre cryptographic modes of operation
and primitives, as a testbed.

Printing pgp keys on business cards went out
with the dot.com <http://dot.com/> bust.  Remember that ~@2000?

Secondly, it was something I deeply believed
in @that time of my life.  PGP changed the
world, the horizon, for better or worse.

It was enjoyably reckless.
