The issue isn't the service itself...the issue is the large number of privacy violations combined with Verisign's anti-competitive history (http://www.nuclearelephant.com/papers/verisign.html). Is catching a type-o really worth the risk of your personal information, passwords, session ids, and addresses of the people you email getting out to marketing agencies? I think not. A type of type-o catch is a great idea, and should definitely be implemented __as a software solution__ in web browsers...where it doesn't affect the entire Internet community, and there is less of a privacy risk. Then, any privacy issues you DO have can be easily remedied by using a better browser. Jonathan
