If this kind of threat and tricks can work wonders it is lots better to
keep resorting to these. My view is that before sending these people
straight away to the Halls of Shame, we should give them an oppurtunity to
correct themselves. What about the Minister of Company Affairs's site
where one need to transact his digital signatures on M$ platforms and for
me this deserve as much serious attention as the Mails servers. I wonder
to which Hall we send our Ministers, who are working on the premise that
public memory is short. In the case of mail servers you have at least
alternatives such as Gmail, yahoo etc., though they are also under
obligation to supply everything to the US Government, if required by the
latter. Privacy is becoming a myth in this digital world.
