Last March I received a letter from the sometimes secretive Hipstar. It was no big deal. We corresponded quite a bit... mostly on web privacy isssues. But one letter was odd. So a few hours later I went back to reread it only to not be able to find what I was looking for. I looked through all the other letters. It was either gone or I was delusional. I wrote Hipstar who laughed and explained.... The center part of the letter was an embed from Hip's HP. It's bgcolor and text matched perfectly that of the letter itself. Could this be a more secure way to communicate than mere e-mail? For days after, I found myself chuckling everytime I thought about it. Last fall I used this Trick in the NG. In a thread in which we were giving thumbnail profiles of ourselves. I kept changing my bio from a used car salesman to a organic yak farmer.... then to an English teacher.
