As a default seems it prudent. At worst its a minor one time unwelcome surprise. ... and a much better unwelcome surprise than thinking you weren't logging when you were. My complaint was just this idea that it was desirable to effectively remove logging. With OTR it's quite possible to have 100% of your contacts encrypted, even the technophobe elois... and removing loved functionality would be a great way to break that. > It seems to me that signaling that users are logging would be a nice > addition - if you violate my privacy by logging me, I'd like to know; > that is far from perfect but surely it would create some interesting > social discussions! I'm sure that most of the time it would be "Hey, doofus, we probably shouldn't log this conversation, turn it off" "Oh, good point! Done." "Thanks". _______________________________________________ OTR-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cypherpunks.ca/mailman/listinfo/otr-users
