    Hello All!

    It seems like a bad idea to go ahead and fill in the blanks on
    this page!

    It seems like a bad idea, to just click on links someone posts somewhere! ;-)

    Bye, Wilfred.

    :D Right you are!

    Otherwise the site seemed innocuous at first landing. It was
    more the nature of the page expected people to do - like "enter
    your SECRET pgp signature here", or "enter your pgp passphrase
    here".

    Anyone dumb enough to fall for that, deserves to get his key(s) compromised. ;-)
