It is admissible in court. It's a public statement on a mailing list with a public archive. So I said it in public. Anyone who wants to quote my statement that I tapped phones in my early teens can now do so, in court or out of it.

I inhaled too. There it is, submit it to Slashdot or something. :-)
Not everyone is so lucky
as you - will you stand by their side or dismiss them simply because it
doesn't apply to you, in your view?
I support their right to use a web browser that requests https preferentially, if they think that will help. I would just like that to be their choice, not something that is imposed upon them.
Do you use the same computer for browsing the web as you do for your email? If so, I guess anyone who does would have some negligence to hide, no?
I sat on the jury of a negilgence case earlier this year. There are standards regarding common sense and what would reasonably be expected for someone to perform. My security practices fit such standards.
