The issue isn't the service itself...the issue is the large number of
privacy violations combined with Verisign's anti-competitive history
(http://www.nuclearelephant.com/papers/verisign.html). Is catching a
type-o really worth the risk of your personal information, passwords,
session ids, and addresses of the people you email getting out to
marketing agencies? I think not.
A type of type-o catch is a great idea, and should definitely be
implemented __as a software solution__ in web browsers...where it
doesn't affect the entire Internet community, and there is less of a
privacy risk. Then, any privacy issues you DO have can be easily
remedied by using a better browser.
