People definitely should have a choice and I acknowledged that niche security products do exist--and if they were ever threatened I would be concerned. I didn't mean to be so inflammatory, but I think the premise of the article -- that we should be rolling our own servers as opposed to using cloud computing systems -- is a ridiculous one. By the author's line of thinking we should probably start encrypting our handwritten thank you notes to our grand parents for no other reason than maintaining our privacy. I never said that it should be illegal for someone to seek privacy, but I do believe that the article advocates a silly solution.

> I never said that it should be illegal for someone to seek privacy I'm not talking about legality (though that is important); I mean that typical end users should have an option, a practical way to have privacy and function in the real world. For example, someone looking for a job often needs Facebook and LinkedIn; they have no option. > for no other reason than maintaining our privacy I believe privacy is important, as a thing itself and not as a direct means to an end, to more people than you think.
