Subject: RE: BS: Feeling paranoid?
Look, I've said it over and over and I'll say it once more:

The Internet is NOT, by its very construction and method of working, a secure medium. You can encrypt a message, yes, but even PGP has been broken. DO NOT assume that what you send out in a Forum, via e-mail, or in any other way is private. If it is not intercepted at the server, it can be intercepted at any node along the way (there are currenly 18 nodes or "jumps" between me and Mudcat central).

If you want the best possible privacy for a message, do a bang-up encryption job and send it by trusted messenger. Human messenger.
