i do on occasion randall.  i have written stuff that i could
get in trouble for, but this isnt one of em.  i never worried
about it much until all the hootenanny over the subpoenad
email from gates and the other miscreants that run software
companies.
i am told that all email should be treated as a postcard, and
i have for the most part, but i once calculated what would
be involved in monitoring or even sampling the email of worker bees
in a huge company like lockheed martin.  it would be a herculean
task, even for the sunnyvale commercial space division alone,
not to mention a mind-numbing waste of time.  i convinced
myself the resources would never be allocated.  spike
