Re: [orca-list] working with skype

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Well, they're welcome to hear all my elderly relatives long lists of aches
and pains and my hemming and hawing when I get the:  "Why don't you call
more often?" question.  I doubt my Aunt Martha's bunyans are a matter of
interest to the NSA.  Now, my uncle Mario has a very tasty ox tail soup
recipe that they might enjoy.  Then there's my top secret method for growing
a fine batch of tomatoes passed down to me solemnly and in greatest
confidence by a Texas farmer I know over a bottle of Maker's Mark and some
chips and salsa right at midnight sometime in late October when the moon was
full.  I revealed it to my cousin Luis over Skype in a moment of weakness.
(Queue saxophones please.)  They're on to me!  Gotta go.  (Queue Mission
Impossible Theme.)

Some of us know that every time we use Skype, we're being listened to and
recorded. You don't need to have anything to hide to not like the NSA and
Microsoft keeping records.
