[kictanet] Privacy and Email Providers

[Odhiambo Washington]

Hi Ali,

You can bet your life and you'll not lose it!

For instance, I have never read any of those online T&Cs ever. There's a
lady called Mary Jo Foley who reads all the words. I only have to read what
she says, then decide whether to click Yes or forget about the online
service.
