Monitoring gives me the willies as well, although I agree with Len
Deighton when he said that if you talk on the telephone, you might as
well shout on the street. The same with the internet, in fact more so
as all our conversations are recorded with our consent. Is the archive
public? If it's public, then anyone can index/monitor.
I can't see any previous conversation on this list being worthy of
censure, unless the Judy-PMcManusP-VileBoris menage a trois is getting
a little too steamy for the Mary Whitehouse clones...
