I have to be honest, I have given up on pgp. From what I know there is no way to have encrypted communications between more than two people. So why even bother pursuing the dream of everyone using it if there is such a roadblock in the way of common communication habits.

I believe PGP does support multiple recipients. The symmetric key is encrypted and included for every recipient.
Ouch, I did not expect that. Nice!
PGP absolutely supports multiple recipients. As the other reply says, the (small) symmetric key is encrypted separately with the public key of every recipient.
