Try again, this time seriously. I didn't even bother reading most of the front page where it says you support auto-destruct features. Ummm, bull, _your_ implementation may support auto-destruct, but you cannot verify the auto-destruct on the other side. Ok I take it back I did eventually go and read the rest of the page, it's just as laughable, your entire "product" is write a message, upload it to our servers, and we'll tell your friends. Let's assume for now that someone will actually be stupid enough to trust you. Just in case you hadn't noticed very few systems actually attached to the internet remain unhacked for a full year. The direct result of this is most likely someone placing snooping software on your server to read every message. The next problem, your claim "messages are untraceable," completely incorrect. Again let's look at the snooping bug, it sees where the data is coming from, what the data is, and who the data is being sent to, doesn't sound at all like the untracability I know. Even without the snooping bug, let's assume your system can't be hacked for whatever reason. I own a business (Trust Laboratories), we do software assurance, and of course we have a few secrets, if those secrets are being leaked you can bet the first thing I'm gonna do is start digging through all the email, web, phone, ftp, etc. logs I keep on my network, you haven't even begun to address the capabilities of a real system, all you've created is a fun toy that a few AOL (or MSN) users* can use to get themselves in even more trouble. Please do the world a favor and quit wasting bandwidth, oh and BTW your going throu gh hushmail doesn't deceive us into believing that you don't work for the piece of sh*t in question. Joe * side note: While my email address is at msn.com, I don't consider myself a user of MSN, I haven't visited one of their internal sites since the last time I had to change my credit card info. I simply keep it because so many people know this address.
