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?
Irrelevant analogy; snail.mail and e-mail. The former is in physical form, and the latter usually never is.
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),
Anonymity on the InterNet is a Constitutional right, and is the sole supporter of freedom of speech.
I'll let someone else field that as I feel that anonymity is rarely a good thing.
I disagree, anonymity is a good thing that will never be questioned by anybody, but your PGP will, and it is really not safe anyway.
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.
If you do not send it to me by e-mail, I will never see it. Why are you so paranoid that someone is reading your e-mail? I never do anything criminal, so I could give a shit less if everybody reads all of my fucking mail.
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.
Again, inconsistant analogy. This is nothing but photons in it's ultimate form, and it will never see paper. Anything that _you_ print is not attributable to me, and any e-mail printed by you would never be acceptable as a court exhibit. stop getting cyberspace mixed up with print. why do you put that cypherpunks address in the header? just where did this e-mail originate from? Steve, are you on that cypherpunks list? -aga
