Well, at least he had the courtesy to reply to you. But read on, MacDuff.

Well, that would certainly be true, unlike the Yahoo account you just 
posted from. I could be incredibly entertaining by posting the results 
of *that*, but I won't waste the bandwidth. If you are looking for 
protection due to political oppression, use an anonymous remailer. If 
you're not planning on using your hushmail account to break the law in a 
big way, what on earth are you concerned about? They are quite clear in 
what they do and don't log; I know some of the people who work (or 
worked) there. They are all quite honorable.

What are you trying to imply? What is your concern?
