[DG: Open Forum] [Building Sakai] New Email Address

[Mark J. Norton]

I made my statement directly to Google protesting an invasion of my 
privacy.  I don't see changing email services will do much good at this 
point, but at least I can protect.  I sent an email msg to President 
Obama as well indicating that I do not like the very concept of Secret Law.
