Actually, in my view, signed postings are the first step. With those (and
the right S/W (not there yet)), I get to know that a bunch of postings came
from the same person. I even know who they came from: the person who
is capable of signing with key 0xXXXXXXXX.
Since the only way I have of getting to know the person is through those
postings, I get to know that person and through that knowledge I decide
whether or not to trust.
And, yes, I can be fooled.
