You said it yourself, your email is boring.  My email is boring.  Most
people's email is boring.  Why would anyone want to read our email, in the
vain hope that one day they might find something interesting?  We don't
need to encrypt it, because nobody knows who's email to read, and who's to
ignore.  By the government or an ISP doing a keyword search on all our
emails, they can just go straight to the juicy stuff, people become no
longer hidden in a very big world.

When we do finally get our emails searched, the pedophiles etc will be
using encryption anyway, so encryption really doesn't come into the
argument.

Daniel.
