It's horrifying that they monitor your email. It's the paradox of email and DRM. I hope some measure of privacy can be restored under Obama.

No, they don't monitor my email. They just monitor my activity on fora such as this, or places where my profile is accessible.
Oh, man ... if I thought they could monitor my email, I would be most peeved with them, and I'm peeved enough already.
I renovated my condo to be very pet friendly, however, it was too small for the growing fur-family. I purchased this house specifically because it would be good for the cats and dogs (concrete floors for one thing .... easy to maintain, and really high ceilings so I could build 9 foot tall cat towers).
And, here's where the real paradox exists. The only reason that the Council of Total Assholes can monitor any of my internet activity is because I am entirely transparent on the internet. I sign my own name to my opinions. I don't think I've used a handle other than my own name more than twice in 25 years.
I'm pretty much the same offline as well. In fact, more than one of my neighbors say that I (in their words) really need to learn how to lie. I'm no good at it, never have been .... my only way to avoid telling the truth is to keep my mouth shut (and I'm really awful at that too).
Now sarcasm .... that I can do!! So, I just post a bunch of seriously sarcastic and utterly insane stuff in my profiles now, and suggest that anyone who wants to take any of it seriously should give their head a good shake and see if anything rattles.
