Could we please stop that marketing bullshit?

I think the correct phrasing here would be "there are half a billion clients capable of using s/mime, if only someone would write software that wasn't a pain in the neck to use for geeks, impossible to use by anyone else, and could convince people that it actually was worth the time and energy to use, and if we had an infrastructure capable of handling and passing around half a billion public keys reliably, which we don't"
