What makes you think that somebody who posts to a newsgroup is better
qualified than Google to provide a recommendation?

When I needed a plumber I also consulted friends and neighbors...but I
only asked people whom I felt were qualified to give me good advice. And
I described in detail the work I needed done, to better find a plumber
who was experienced in doing that kind of work. I didn't ask "know any
good plumbers?"

There must be hundreds of strong encryption utilities. How would
you like us to decide which one to suggest to you?

Or were you thinking: If someone in a newsgroup recommends
something, I guess it's worth a try.
