I wonder which would be more secure, one secure site with 100 POP3 boxes, or hotmail with millions?

Sometimes I just wonder about the brightness of you people

It does not matter if there is 10 million users on the box, the time it would take to parse the database for a matching username would be minimal. Even if all you had was a portion of a name, narrowing down the list and then reviewing the activity of those accounts wouldn't take very long...so maybe you should wonder about your own brightness too.

I am not paranoid, I am just pointing out the fact that the security of these "secure e-mail systems" is overrated. It is only PGP encrypted and PGP isn't the most secure encryption method out there and it has been broken. All these secure services really do for you is ensure authentic messages are sent and if some average hacker intercepts the message he won't be able to decipher it. Government officials have the resources to easily take care of encryption techniques like PGP.

Or you could save all the hasle and just create your own language code.

U crackz me up dude!

But ... wut's pretty funny is that back when my bro and sis were teens, they actually did create their own little language. It was quite cool. It was taking other letters and numbers and assigning each one a value, etc... It was pretty cool. You could only read/write it of course, no speaking, so it wasn't really a language now was it
