As an aside. I find that I can still get used copies of recent O'Reily titles elsewhere online.. in print with free shipping. What? I'm pathologically cheap.
I sit 10 feet away from 2 Perl books I got from O'Reilly circa 2000. They were immensely helpful. Not all titles I got were that way. Safari is a great deal for enthusiasts, educators, and employers though I'd still like to see an ultra low cost option for casual nerds. I still prefer paper to screen as it is easier on the eyes. Glad to see they are still selling on Amazon.
Yes. I get this. But there are steps one can take to limit security risks. Having an email provider that gets hacked and doesn't tell you isn't one of them.
gmail have very special IMAP implementation (as gmail does not have folders on server side) which has some quirks and may not work very well with every proper IMAP clients.
I agree that "special" is a good word to describe it.
LOL @ NSA. It's not quite as bad as all that. My biggest concern is all of the unreported or belatedly reported breaches. Supporting encryption and having a good Privacy Policy are important as well.

Fan Fiction, Seriously!
Am I the only one that thought this was a Primus song?
Why would anyone want to keep that address anyway?
If he'd have copyrighted it, he could be shakin' down a whole lotta people. Just sayin'.

Are we sure this guy wasn't a Comcast contractor? That would explain much.

You have given me much food for thought. Perhaps to follow will be a detailed description of my preferred solution.
LOL. I thought the same thing.
Good to know about the VPN. I already have a paid VPN sub but when renewal time comes around, I shop around.

Couldn't help but snicker at this just a little.
This is satire, right?
I am not sure what you're getting at, here.
This is helpful.

Will check it out. Thanks for replying.
I had previously ruled out the "Clinton Option" but you make a good case and bring up some ideas I hadn't considered. Thanks for replying.
Thank you. I hadn't run across that in my searches previously. Added to the short list for further investigation.
Thanks for replying. I will check them out.
Proton, Hushmail, and a couple others have made the short list. Thanks for reading and replying.
As stated in the post, I'm willing to pay. Just not sure which service to use.
