Maybe you should quote "valid"

Look, what in earth are you validating a SIGNATURE for if its not 
directly proportional to the validity of the message?  Is it just for 
show?  I hope you are not suggesting that a signature validity is 
persistent while you can alter the structure and content of a message.

Lets not go there. OK?
