I'm rather sorry too. I found the information at http://www.c2.org/nofv
to be of interest and would have liked an answer to the privacy issue
specifically and the other issues brought up by that document.
Unfortunately I had a work-related problem that kept me from
leaving Monroe in time to make the trip up to East Lansing.
If you would answer that point on privacy, that was to be the main
interest I had in attending the meeting. Having read through the
material offered at http://www.fv.com, I still feel the privacy issue and
the ability to intercept email confirmations still haven't been
addressed. You discuss email interception in
http://www.fv.com/pubdocs/FAQ-security.txt, but that document is from
Nov, 1995 and doesn't address the concern adequately in my opinion.
