very true. i own griefer.com (my last name), and have e-mails set up for me
and my wife ([EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]). I've thought about
offering e-mails to other relatives (uncles, cousins, etc)...I just don't
want to be in a position where I have godlike access to somebody else's
e-mail.
there's nothing that would make me go thru it...I just don't want to be in a
position where anybody could even think that was a possibility.
but yeah...point is that unless it's your server and your domain and you're
the one housing it, your email is already pretty much accessible to a decent
# of people, should they be so inclined.
