      It is an english surname.

  2. mail.taid.holmes.at

    1. Do you have a PGP key?
      Here you are. The keys fingerprint is 58C1 2424 B76B A9A7 A6CD 2750 F7B7 02E4 3E32 E008.
    2. When opening a mail from you, the body is empty but shown as an attachment.
      If this is the case please tell me about it, so that I can send you unsigned messages as long as you make use of such a mail client. It seems as if it is not only unable to interpret digital signatures but that it is incapable of opening a digitally signed mail normally.
    3. I can read your mails without problems, but there is always an attachment with your mails I do not understand.
      The attachment is a digital signature, your mail client does not seem to interprete. If you do not wish to verify my signed mails you can ignore this fact, this is to say the attachment.
    4. Why didn't you reply yet to my mail?
      I might have fogotten to reply. Also a spam filter might have classified your mail as spam. Please consider contacting me using another communication medium.
    5. Your mail server is explicitly denying to accept mails. Why?
      I apply very strong anti-spam measures on my server, some of them resulting even in a total denial of incoming mails. Generally this has to do with some configuration properties and status of your outgoing mail server. Consult the error message and ask your internet service provider for further information.
  3. web.taid.holmes.at

    1. What about the copyright of your pages?
      Please see the page concerning the copyright information.
    2. Why did you create this website?
      Now you have to tell me: Why did you visit?
    3. I cannot read Morse code. What is written on your introside?
      I consider independent investigation of truth to be most important in the context of a real progress. So I would like to encourage you to find out for yourself - I am sure you will succeed!
      If you need an alphabet for the Morse code feel free to contact me.
    4. I don't get the picture. What do you precisely want to express with your introside?
      At a time where our world had not yet been gifted by the means of telecommunication or internet technology, Samuel Morse chose an expressive Bible quote to be the very first message to be transmitted telegraphically, indicating the great impact of this happening for world's future.
      As a member of the Bahá'í faith I personally consider his choice, its testimony, the time of its transmission and the fact that its reception made up the very starting point for all modern telecommunication to be fully in-line with the devine revelation of Bahá'u'lláh, starting from the Primal Point, The Báb.
    5. What is this funny base64-encoded PGP-Key about?
      With this cryptographic key it is possible to verify the authenticity of digitally signed data like digitally signed mails coming from me. Also it can be used to encrypt data for me.
