It's probably less bad than if someone were to acquire your SSH keys, and unless you just spent a bunch of money on really weird porn, probably less embarrassing than IMs or emails being made public.staticfoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569086806733402076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523671.post-83014998620264616572007-11-08T15:12:00.000-08:002007-11-08T15:12:00.000-08:00If I were to see, oh maybe, a $25 purchase at Joan...If I were to see, oh maybe, a $25 purchase at Joann's, I might think you got me a gift card.
