Ok - The Sunday Times over in the UK did a report on computer crime and stuff,
which mentioned that IRC is monitored, because they suspect that
terrorists/criminals use it for communication. (Look - don't flame me about
it - talk to the reporter...).
Why is it illegal to encrypt stuff unless the NSA is able to decrypt it?
There are other reasons that I won't go into, for obvious reasons, but they're
enough to make me believe that email is monitored for certain words, like
those I mentioned. Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter to me - I'm
not out to convince you, so you can call me a lamer, or a spoofer if you like.
In any case, this has nothing to do with Shadowrun, so if you want to continue
this, could we do so in direct email, please?
