<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I cannot believe that anything I do would be of
much interest to anyone and in that respect I am protected. However,
snooping, especially Government snooping, annoys me even more than most other
peeping Toms. For example, the following is in my opinion an
outrage:</FONT></DIV>

District Court Magistrate Charles F. Eick told SonicBlue to gather ``all
available information'' about how consumers use the Santa Clara company's latest
generation ReplayTV 4000 video recorders, and turn the information over to the
film studios and television networks suing it for contributing to copyright
infringement.</FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Now I wonder
how much snooping, especially Government snooping, is going on with
peoples use of the Internet. I would solicit answers from those of you
that have knowledge for the following two questions.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman"

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>1. Is
there a copy, either maintained by the Internet providers and/or the Government,
of every e-mail sent and received?</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>2. Do
either the Internet providers and/or the Government keep a record of every site
visited on the Internet by any computer and perhaps the times and duration of
the visits to the site?</FONT></DIV>
