See when I failed to use capital letters, you knew it was definitely me,
no need for crypto.

The main reason I've avoided signed tags is I currently don't have my pgp key
sitting on the machine where I build and generate, because I'm lazy, and I
don't usually propogate my pgp key to other machines like my other laptops
when I have to do a pull request from the shower or wherever.

I'll try and integrate signed tags a bit better.

I think it's probably spam because of sending @linux.ie from a server that
isn't definitely a linux.ie email server, I'll probably just move to using gmail
for sending pull requests, though the UI kinda sucks for pasting in things.

Dave.
