Can you give some examples of "perfectly fine" spyware, Bottoms? Or do
you really meant that all spyware is perfectly fine?

Asking you about the spyware you support isn't net copping; I was
honestly curious about how much spyware a person who thinks spyware is
ok to use winds up relying on it. Asking you questions leads to your
usual weaselly dodging, but the more you dodge, the less likely you are
to convince people to install the spyware you like.

Not only that, but consider that it may be only after suspicion is
aroused that they start looking at your account. Backing up and storing
everything you send or receive facilitates that.

sent through Google Groups. I also 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.
