Gee, and I thought the overreaction to criminals only stopped me from buying decongestant off the shelf and tearing tags off my mattress. Soon I will also be viewed with suspicion because I have different email addresses for different businesses and a personal email address too? Fastmail better turn me over to the Internet cops immediately.
