Possiblylinux127 seemed like he had founds faults in PGP's encryption which got me interested

Oh, I was just interested in making a pun based on the name. 😂

To be perfectly honest I was under the impression that we had collectively bailed on PGP in favor of GPG, but based on the Wikipedia article it seems like PGP is still getting updates so maybe that's not the case?

PGP is the protocol, GPG is the implementation. People tend to use GPG because it is FOSS.

Thank you for distilling that down, cleared up all of the confusion I had. Cheers.
