    Which has been reported, by me, several times, as a /BUG/ in PMMail.

    Welllll, people who say "statistically speaking" rarely speak statistics.
Statistically speaking it /IS/ possible for two sigs to be identical.
However, the chances of that happening are ~377^52.  So a more accurate term
is that it is so statistically improbable that it is effectively impossible.
But saying that it /is/ impossible is a fallacy, even speaking statistics.
