How much of that particular POV, expressed in the above-cited paragraph,
did you adopt only AFTER the Lavabit experience?
Using encrypted contents on an e-mail server that doesn't keep the
messages after delivery which is hosted by the VPN provider or by a
third trusted party who doesn't log IP addresses begins to improve the
safety of the communicators.
Again, I am struck by how much of this advice (and it's good advice, _if_
you can find such a server) seems to point directly back to Lavabit and
its fate.
But I can tell ya this: if they want my lotion 'n tissues they'll have to
pry them out of my cold dead hands!
