So I need to think about this, but my Yahoo account is very important. I switched from Gmail to Yahoo, because of this reason. It seems that there is no escape from big corporations "keeping an eye on us" and selling our thought patterns and private email correspondence. I guess it is time for a pay-for-service private email account.

As long as big businesses have the exact same rights as human beings and there are no limits on how much you can donate to an election campaign, we're screwed!

Seems the once open freedom we had is now closing in on us...

LOL. How many times have I offered to set up a free email account for you, Derek??

Maybe, I need to start selling secure email accounts.
