This was not sent to my published email address, but rather directly to my user account @ the DynDNS domain of my home system, which is unintentionally deliverable since I run my own mail server. I mention on my website that you can finger me at that address, and he apparently mistook it for an email address.

Attempted translation:

  1. He found my website via my Twitter account via NASA's Q&A feed about the Phoenix probe on which one of my questions was answered.
  2. He has some strange paranoia about PGP.
I actually sent him a polite reply containing a couple information links about PGP and how it's an open architecture that anyone can audit, and suggesting that he see a doctor about the insomnia. I hope he does, because this reads a heck of a lot like late prodrome schizophrenia.
