Re: [Plug] Microsoft Striks Again


A friend suggested that if you wanted secure web based mail, check out
www.hushmail.com. It looks like it has potential. Personally, I dont 
care who sees my mail. I'm boring. About the only big "discovery" 
they'll make is when my next tattoo apointment is. Email, by nature,
is about as secure as a postcard. But you all know this. Anyways...
hushmail is a neat site. Maybe this incedent will actually help them
a bit.

When I grow up, I wanna be more like me.
I had a clue. I didn't like it. I took it back and exchanged it for an
attitude.
