Well, don't be surprised if someday your boss gives you a printout of
what you've been doing - it's called a traffic analysis. And, being
paranoid, do you _really_ trust your free service provider for not
snooping in your data? Some people do.

I think, it's more - lot of people have computers at home novadays, and
having two accounts is not the greatest evil - I have four :-((( And
God, I wish I could use them at the same time, but no - firewall here,
firewall there...

Doing this kind of stuff every day... There was even a joke: "And I will
send myself many letters, just to bother the postman" :-)
