I can understand having the GPG key on a card, but the purpose of having something the length of a full fingerprint on a business card escapes me. Would there be a good reason for to have a full fingerprint? The reason I ask is that we come across this kind of thing in newspaper work: A reporter would include in his/her article the entire URL of a Web site, for example (and the following is fake), <a href="http://fedoreproject.org/wiki/wombat/missive/g4itgzb/extreme_lunacy/way_too_long_of_a_HTML_address_for_reasonable_use.html">http://fedoreproject.org/wiki/wombat/missive/g4itgzb/extreme_lunacy/way_too_long_of_a_HTML_address_for_reasonable_use.html</a>, and the argument made by some editors (i.e., me) is that it's too long to publish in a newspaper article because no one in their right mind would take the time to type in that address. Would the same reasoning apply to having a full fingerprint on a business card, or is there a reason for doing so that I've never encountered (and that's entirely possible, I'll be the first to admit, and I'd welcome the opportunity to be enlightened)? I'm just making an observation here, and not advocating either way (but my cards won't have a full fingerprint, to be sure). Larry Cafiero
