  In an unusual worldwide appeal, the International Brotherhood of Computer
  Hackers today asked particularly boring people to please stop encrypting
  their emails.

  "Maybe you think hacking coded messages is simple, but it's not  well,
  except for the Microsoft Outlook ones," said Haxor. "The rest of it is a
  pain in the backdoor. So here's a tip: if you encrypt just because you
  want to keep your personal information 'secret,' but all you're encrypting
  is blather about your stupid promotion or a recipe for fruit salad, guess
  what?  Your secret's already out. You're dull."
