It offers you no protection within my organization. I think you misinterpreted. I didn't say that you and your organization don't have access to information I voluntarily provide you, but that considering the person or machine I directly give information to as a "third party" and therefore public enough for government search and seizure without a warrant is bizarre. I recognize that it's case law, hence why I conceded the problem. That is in no way an argument against bizarreness. I'm not sure why people think asserting facts not in dispute is ever a relevant response to aesthetic judgments. Chris
