Yes I can confirm that only two people can read the PGP message, one of
whom was me. I won't disclose the contents because I'm not sure you are
all ready to hear the words of wisdom. Only three people will ever know

will only be able to use your imagination unless you manage to steal my
secret key and successfully guess a long and obscure pass phrase......
