An astonishing bit of Internet provincial fuckheadedness, I must say!
When one considers that there are _many_ other nets that gate into
Internet these days and innumerable store-and-forward host systems whose
message handling processes are _completely_ beyond the control of the
end user (even smug Cypherpunk geniuses), this attitude mystifies me.

That [email protected] is in Canada specifically makes
communications with it fair game for NSA interception, however.
