BTW, slightly tangentially, the other day on my way home I saw a car with the bumper sticker "I Read Your Email" and they had one of those Christian style fish but inside the fish it said "Linux". Was that one of you?<br>
<br>I think who you trust is mostly perception. I took pause years ago with Gmail because of the scanning thing but I realized that we are all hanging our @55e5 out there anyway. At least I know what Google is doing and in fact it has benefited me over the years. In regards to the local ISP, as far as I know it could be some kid with A+ Certification running the mail server. I'll stick with Google. The best I can do is keep my behavior safe and check my credit cards regularly to be sure I'm not getting scammed.<br>
<br>Sure if the electrical grid goes down I'm f'd up but I'm not going to spend my life stockpiling c-rations and maintaining a diesel generator. A little paranoia is good but at some point it gets out of hand. The difficulty is knowing where the event horizon is.<br>

I cleared the "stuck mail" queue on the LUG list today, so you may see a bunch of old messages popping through. Sorry it took me a while to get to this.<br>
<br>
Most of these are for accounts that weren't actually members of the list. If you have a new device (phones and iPads seem to be popular) that links to a new email account, please remember to add that account to the list.<br>
<br>
Also remember that if emails to your address bounce a certain number of times (*cough* Mediacom *cough*), you will automatically be unsubscribed. If you stop getting emails, try to rejoin the list.<br>
