I think everybody should install an application which generates e-mails and sends them to their friends every day, say 1000 per day. Nationwide, that would be about 50 billion additional e-mails per day to sort through. I think it would be fun. And it would be really easy to pull off. A second source of fun would be to encrypt the most mundane of mundane e-mails, e.g. shopping lists, weather reports, etc. Here's mine to start the fun: -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- qANQR1DBw04D0TjW0KEi+jMQD/0deJO8f2neF7zWr4o+BS/NGHeZJVB3prxYnOgX ERyTpi/+TiVJX1aMKTSmP/6z88r5V8JZIs7dhGRaCMaup5GhOhYWC4GHIXaCcdcC PmWl5Jf7wefiquoyHbu8EqGMzp6J3hcicWmE5IHxBOEih/qFrkUdhT5AWpatHDab sDAMwL2ZmdwpC/2Z57oTeS1YNyzkTV2xbnDJ5TGOBvx8xmSz0S6BNUdc8YMZ6WYu YL0x2JPk+FyXD8HovhN7wXpJ8uvA+YZgu3huP89Hl8i3sOlFca9if7TrHnELAMTW CYbTWvFWx78aRp7jiKlU39RbbdwSnUBnwr/TCA+mhHYwZX2yDgaWzlqJqPQMrmBq X6C+0vzjDHOyfs4urxoopfNUr/nzTeSksvUBdaKTHbm3jQC4fBNpv7UfvUxokY3/ ZB6oXJ13cd3zjW0v2kDJlalUaqktuM9qcvKZPx0uuwJkaspOULwg6nXsbPFOflN9 Kqb5E6AskhmJuoT9jBLaPDpsGwGyPzxfTj6Qf5G3uB2POHPvpJ5E9+eyUjaEirj+ Z80b+bNIO68vtHHXt3/1fLQTpw2FOV+moZ7g+gdJGlz7J9c05wWetV1Pa2WlniHo 0Lky3Rt2MQ+oplGTF8+nCcuIKsEwNiq7lq1j0HcnzoeOF3l+4uoYA/zhapOcs0pV dzzl7BAAmfN8OPmQ974PF5YfyQZXz0CZeg+ZVtSNuiKGDcJ47H5ccQfSHOJj6oxc ypAASng9Ob8ExAsIMKo0o9Uezgk2MsUFcGRKpjQu5h+QYuDNMDfVY4nBxOMudN+/ 8vf37y8zZIvI9r8PTDUn0IfXXmS6vikDj5JROktYO4xuv6/a+UgosR/8AGJJSd84 ya9g3xS8ohDKQi4N9+Dr4/akS21uCog1olPPDxSczoc0XsCYuhR29F8D1AqOT+tm gxF6xgssgoC4kXyOHXZ0i8pP5T+X+RiTJIspr+XCEHe9dxDllR+7utUiNOzNvqqU qur08HKquBZ7BkXIrqbJLjLifPIsbqp0+G27fkrq3pEb2pvzdKc5qRx/tpo6ZE9a W3pdgIDIsbLZ5HyhADAHl1gSRjNdMLgsSLrQwshYjyERlggbgPj9e8OWPvBJbRUZ 2g57niVXqWHgrE0KjJ8KbogEs6NInaQTGhNwFIRXuy+FOBpG2pRmwzv3x0iN3OY2 8L55gcmSIJifXLH7a0iHAeDWhZ3eUF8MwjA4gwx3B7pif19QlAsgcCu36cF//TsC 2aESmUdccBzmG+glIxuWx4JRwBtrbVNg6sebzJt15Dvn6BmdkRZ5YdW71/8izeb+ r+ND3TWmcE803EEEee+Af+4AhaCesjBFZOz0Rli5yqcBVsgW5GjSwFMBouw7rKqQ cRPI6n7EMg1tfNLbFDQvHk6ln1WSAkMpXS9bLcZhD5GIAvKmSpreimdQhJoV+f5x YVw2RqIhIPwgR1czKdN3IruSN6SlMl1i4Hx/e8EROGpdn7KObCO3zm+OMxm324VC vQIGB7qdSqWuefrjaOZ51f5ODPtczRYeV+SO91aQ++5iDPIgEErvjxcgCy4wfRxc r+nhogVteUO/ZJm6hMhFdeQi6575+dILqWL0f9FSugoz7oeI6zfB9gTjS9ISK7Nn mbtLr6I49eRl4lPnKymQANSnir4PK2RA7XbLkb2W1tdrZccatcpHzv/VfWT1FD67 hlEBMAIOzlXuw8M3dwxVAvLidvXtiWqHtDJo5A== =VNMR -----END PGP MESSAGE-----

Look, this is a stock forum. As avaricious investors, we should be asking which vendor will supply all this computer storage rather than worry about the loss of real or perceived freedoms. wg PS - Seagate ? WDC ? IBM? Who, Who Who ???

The extensive UK data monitoring efforts seem both dangerously intrusive and of very little usefulness. It seems to be about 1000 more than what should be reasonably required. However, we should also entertain the idea that there maybe some level of threat that would make these actions appear to be within an order of magnitude (10 x or so) of reasonable. That there might take the form of the Vikund Quisling threat to Norway, where pro Nazi factions grabbed key posts and facilitated the take over of Norway by the Germans. A massive fifth column operation. Can anyone think of such a threat ?
