s/Anonymous a new subspace for pgp encrypted messages (idea)

Hi, this is a simple proposal to add to this BBS a new subspace dedicated to share PGP encrypted messages. The current pgp section is dedicated to share public keys and if people start to upload message there its going to quickly make it unreadable.

This subsection would make it akin to a drop box allowing users to share their pgp key in s/PGP and message each other in s/Anonymous

what do you think about the idea?

(of course I couldn't care less about the name, can be s/Anonymous, can be s/PGP_messages, can be another better name)

I am not in favor of this. Firstly because one can't moderate encrypted content (everything on BBS is supposed to be publicly viewable) and secondly because it's better to just send encrypted PGP emails the old-fashioned way.

I'm all for privacy, but I think this is the wrong place

It would be best not to. I'll gladly email you an encrypted message if you post your key in /s/PGP though.
