Hah..

I will grant that an 80x25 text screen is easier to read and you can
operate a computer 10x as fast with a good text interface and a well
layed out keyboard map, but I still don't see much of the public
taking up that opinion.. :)

I honestly have no private thoughts that I'm trying to protect.  My
opinions are frequently posted on my website, email like I said I
couldn't care less if someone reads it.  I talk on cellular phones
all the time which are easy to monitor.  But then, I never talk about
anything important anyway.

Seriously, I have nothing to hide from the government or anyone else.

Ok, except that one incident with that dead hooker in vegas, but
nobody would believe that was me anyway.  I'm too nice of a guy.  :P

I've never had a published number.  But you give one credit card company
your real information and they will insure you get daily calls from
people wanting to give you "special offers".  No matter how many of
those people I told I never wanted to hear from them again, bam a few
days later they were back.

That and telemarketers (at least in texas) still war dial frequently,
I've watched two sequential numbers get the same call one right after
the other several times.. heh..
