AOL released a statement clarifying that these terms only applied to forum postings and that they do not log or record any IM conversations. That it only applied to forum postings is evident from reading the license and was also pointed out in the recent /. discussion before AOL made theÑr statement. I would be inclined to believe them although I still encourage the use of encryption on general principle. -- Tracy Reed http://ultraviolet.org This message is cryptographically signed for your protection.
