    First: Drop OE like the turd it is.

    Second: apt-get install signify.

    This (and the similar 'sigrot') are signature rotation tools. Signify, in
    particular, allows for weighting the sigs to be rotated through.

    Some may also note that I take the "4 lines" guideline somewhat loosely,
    though I try not to abuse this unless I feel the message is particularly
    important. E.g.: below.

    Peace.

 What Part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?
    The major problem facing social networks is that they scarf up personal
    information far more efficiently than a Carnivore system.  People really
    aren't going to trust them if they view these start-ups as honeypots for
    future marketroids to reap everything we didn't want them to know. Let
    alone allow a passing hacker to scarf up this potential archive of great
    exploitable value.
