Mores the pity I am a large shareholder of that company as I am one of the founders. I will email them as well to let them know.
Of all the accounts with suspicious names I've approved lately, I figured this one was the least likely because of the @hushmail address.

CC - do you have a 30-second elevator speech version of the pros and cons of hushmail? Seems like I looked at it once, but I was too busy to figure it out.

Pros: We cannot ever read your emails, ever. Servers are offshore and about as subpena proof as you're gonna get. Data never is on your computer just gets decoded on your screen so only visual observation can see your message. Plus it's free.

Cons: Can see your subject line for various troubleshooting reasons. Cannot recover a lost password. If you forget, you are hosed forever.

Every time I see your sig line, that song gets stuck in my head for the day.

Damn you. :D

That's right, we need another horseman. How about you Denis?
I'd be delighted, provided no actual horses are involved - they make me sneeze! :shock:
Looks like you are drafted. I will make the changes and send you a mail.

I guess there's no rule that says you can't have 5 horsemen.

Seriously? You're a part of that kind of cool email service?

Show up in Cenla sometime, and lunch is on me(assuming I'm not offshore).
