11.   General Tips

  > Some BBS sysops may not permit you to place encrypted mail or files on
    their boards.  Just because they have PGP in their file area, that
    doesn't necessarily mean they tolerate you uploading encrypted mail or
    files - so *do* check first.

  > Fido net mail is even more sensitive.  You should only send encrypted net
    mail after checking that:

      a) Your sysop permits it.
      b) Your recipient's sysop permits it.
      c) The mail is routed through nodes whose sysops also permit it.

  > Get your public key signed by as many individuals as possible.  It
    increases the chances of another person finding a path of trust from
    himself to you.

  > Don't sign someone's key just because someone else that you know has
    signed it.  Confirm the identity of the individual yourself.  Remember,
    you are putting your reputation on the line when you sign a key.
