<snip> Subject: RE: gmail initiations Actually, I think that Phoenician's post
was aimed at my
tongue-in-cheek
email and not yours. By the way the
Freedom of
Information Act doesn't entitle you to get
information on
other people's information such as
SSNs or tax
returns, unless that person is a public official.
On top of which
they are "supposed" to black out certain
parts of those
documents which you can get, like SSN's.
Or were you not
referring to the FOIA? But what bother's
me the most is
that counties sell my information to political
candidates.
But that's another rant. entirely.

Nah, I was giving Allen a ration of
dookie but the fact that a lot of Google's servers are over seas does pose an
interesting issue, especially when many foriegn countries don't have an privacy
regulations.
By allowing those governmental agencies
to "walk" all over your contitutional rights just because you do not do anything
illegal you are, by proxy, stating that you do not care about protecting those
rights.
To quote Mr. Franklin, "They who would
give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or
security"
