I stand corrected, there is no LAW which mandates digital certification of government information. The Government Printing Office is leading the movement for that certification. But it is not being done under statute deleneated requirements. There is no law yet. Check out the government printing office, they have links there on it.
Danae, I understood your original post on digital certification as pertaining ultimately to needing a law. I do not think you need to ‘stand corrected’. Rather I think ‘In Maryland’ needs to be challenged on what appears to be troll like behavior, if not driven by a DC-Maryland bureaucratic mindset.
In Maryland seems to miss the context of the communication and jumps on missing content, and then uses the missing content to infer that your context was ‘flawed’. It’s kind of like telling someone they don’t know how to spell because of their typose....er....typos. It’s almost like saying all that you say is worthless because you were not explicit and precise in describing the context of your messages.
It’s perhaps more important challenge what In Maryland threw at you:
“Certified by the Superintendant of Documents , United States Government Printing Office, certificate issued by GeoTrust CA for Adobe”
Notice that the Agency ‘United States Government Printing Office’ is apparently using a contractor ‘GeoTrust CA for Adobe’ to perform the certification evaluation and issue a certificate. Now compare that to our previous discussion on this thread regarding Justia.com and others and their ties to Soros. Obviously ‘In Maryland’ does not connect the dots on digital security and its threat to the Republic.
And note that I have almost ignored the misspelling of superintendent in the above quote. But it does not surprise me that a government bureacrat or whoever wrote the quote above does not know how to spell. Years ago I turned down a GM-15 US govt position because they were more concerned about the caring and feeding of their incompetent employees than much of anything else. And I quickly saw that there wasn’t much I was going to be able to do about it either.
In Maryland has a 50% chance of being a fed gov employee because 50% of people in Maryland work for the federal government; the federal government being the largest industry in the State of Maryland, a truly dismal state of persons that spend their time nitpicking. And lest ‘In Maryland’ become inflamed here, they should know that I know of what I speak, having a mother born in Maryland with ancestors going back to when Maryland was a colony before there was ever a United States. My ancestors come from the Watermen of the Eastern Shore and my earliest ancestor is traced to an Irish colonialist in 1714. I was born along the coast of Virginia and my father in North Carolina but I know Maryland very very well. So my advice to In Maryland is to get a friggin life, you will be so much happier, and the easiest way to do that is get away from Maryland because otherwise you are going to find it tough to feel alive when everywhere you look there’s a GS neighbor or some such nearby. And the more you are exposed to DEADWOOD, the more you become dead. So there you have a nice personal attack to ponder over your government weekend.
Yes, that is correct. There is no law and there should be. But GPO is using certificates issued by a well-recognized provider of such services.
