So, you send all of your snail mail on post cards do you? No sealed envelopes at all? Afterall you have nothing to hide, right? Of course not, privacy isn't about being a criminal, its about being private. It is not akin to anonymity, *perhaps* those who work anonymously have `something to hide' (still doesn't necessarily make them a criminal, however), I'll let someone else field that as I feel that anonymity is rarely a good thing. Privacy, on the other hand, simply means that not everything I do is any of your business and I would just as soon you not be tempted to even bother trying to find out. Of course, if all of your personal mail (including financial statements etc) is sent on post cards, then (while I think you would be crazy) I will at least admit you are consistent. Else, I think you need to look hard at the logic you are using. cheers On Fri, 15 Nov 1996, aga wrote:

Why? Are you a criminal? What are you hiding behind your PGP?
Okay, I'll bite. Where is it said that a person who wants h[is,er] privacy is a criminal? Charlie McCarthy might have said that.
It just "looks" that way on the net. I do live-fucking, newsgroup flooding, mailbombing, vote-tampering and defamation all legally, and OPENLY on the InterNet.
The more you PGP, the worse you look. Nobody reads your e-mail, so stop being so paranoid.
