30 seconds worth of rotation is more than you think. I've tried taking the typical star trails shot by stacking a bunch of 15 second exposures together. I got the star trail alright, but when you look close they're dashed lines. I can see the rotation during the 15 second exposures and then the darkness of the rotation during the 5 seconds that was occurring between exposures. My tails look like "-------".

I believe that the US Post Office should take the lead here. Even 10 years ago, I thought that the USPO was the perfect "official" entity to manage keys. The post office currently serves a sort of official role in guaranteeing safe deliverly of your mail (more or less). If the USPO had official processes for proving you are who you say you are and keeping your public key, then the US Government could safely allow digitally signed emails to represent contracts, etc. Once you reach that point, it seems like signed emails would become the norm for business transactions. Furthermore, once you have all the keys and government endorsement, it seems like encryption would follow very quickly.

Even better, it would become trivial to filter out any non-signed emails as spam, and for any signed spam to be prosecuted.

Why is Email "time sensitive"? I think I can wait 5 more minutes for the next Viagra add to show up. Even if it's important email, who cares if it gets delivered now or 5 minutes from now? In fact, the protocol itself expects to be prioritized low, thus the retries.

I noticed that as well. It was reported as Issue 1695
