118 hits I see. Most of whom probably Didn't Get The Memo. However, for bonus points, can you think of a plausible scenario(*) where posting the private key actually makes sense? (Hint - what are the crypto implications of doing this as opposed to posting a revocation cert?) (*) Besides the obvious "proof I pwned the owner of this key, hard" - I mean cases where the legit owner intentionally does it for a reason.
