And I am not knocking them for doing a less secure 
system, I simply want to be aware so I can make
an informed choice. There are different levels of
privacy and they require different sets of rules.
To put it humorously, let's say you just slept with
your wife's best friend and have a letter about the
tryst. You might:

	* Not care if anyone in the world who can
	  find it can read it.

	* Not care if the CIA knows I slept with her.

	* Really do *not* want *anyone* to *ever* know!

Each requires a different way of thinking about security
and your own privacy.
