Speeding is illegal.
Use Google to make sure you are on the RIGHT side of the law.

Nope. The FBI are (were) the good guys. Which is why your last
president would not let them investigate the 2001 episode.
I'd fear other groups.

Yep. About what we all knew was going to happen. I remain firm in my
commitment to avoid using Google web services except for their search
engine. Oh, I do have a GMail account, but it's only for getting coupons
from a company I do business with.

Let's see the FBI find anything incriminating in *that*!

John Corliss BS206. I block as many posts from anonymous remailers (like
x-privat.org for eg.) as possible due to forgeries posted through them.

No ad, CD, commercial, cripple, demo, nag, share, spy, time-limited,
trial or web wares OR warez for me, please. Adobe Flash sucks, DivX rules.
