Excuse me, if you are sending something yopu don't want anyone else to read,
use private e-mail anyway....

Second, if you are sending something you want everyone (ooc) to know about but
not their characters, then you use encryption. And all Solonus miraculuous
hacking ability (feel my sarcasm) and the fact that he in particular seems ablee
to crunch every single encrypt sent out, I feel that unless the same encrypt
system is being used over and over and over <three or four times>, then it
shouldn;t be cracked.

There is also a degree of roleplaying required. If your character is a decker,
and one with easy access to a powerful computer, you are going to be able to
crunch an encryption a hell of a lot easier than if your character is someone
who doesn't spend a great deal of the Matrix, like a sam or a mage....

This may sound a great deal like a flame....and it just might be....but I tried
to make it somewhat relevant to this discussion....
