Hmm, I find the same type of access speech wise whether one uses pgp 
keys in their email or not.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.  I do not admit to knowing why 
others choose to use pgp in their email messages however my reasons are 
mainly because any message I write when pgp-signed can be verified it's 
from me and not someone's windows addressbook which is infected by a 
virus.
