Symantec has redesigned its Web site with a major impact on the PGP
pages. It now appears that the consumer market has been abandoned since
I can no longer find the evaluation (freeware) version of PGP (even the
version with the unfixed Unsigned Data-Injection Vulnerability.

Businesses purchasing PGP with the intent of communicating with
customers will find that intent thwarted.

On occasion, I might filter and ignore all newsgroup messages
posted through GoogleGroups via Google's G2/1.0 user agent
because of spam from that source.

Didn''t Phil Zimmermann guarantee us the right to obtain a free copy
of EVERY new release of PGP, provided the program was NOT used for
commercial purposes?
