Well... I don't know. I'm not quite convinced, but let's let it it rest.

I'm not sure I don't. I once had a long correspondence with an American who lived in Sichuan, over the situation in Tibet. He knew nothing about Tibet apart from the Chinese propaganda, and was astonished when he read about it from other sources. However, when he returned to China we dropped our correspondence because of the certainty that it would be spied upon. If all correspondence was always encrypted, encrypted correspondence wouldn't stand out, and this kind of discussions could be held in safety. Boudewijn Rempt | http://denden.conlang.org/~bsarempt
