Please define upset? Wait, here is the Merriam-Webster definition:

    Main Entry: up·set
    Pronunciation: (")&p-'set
    Function: adjective
    Date: 1805
    : emotionally disturbed or agitated <was too upset to speak to him>

Now please tell me where in the following excerpt you would ascertain a
sense of me being "emotionally disturbed or agitated":

"Would anyone consider it a flaw that I can request status of list
memberships of a another party's e-mail account from majordomo? I can't
think of any real good reason other than simple privacy ones."

No, what I did not like was your attitude -- inferring I had more
important issues to worry about. To quote you:

"You should be far more concerned about the anti-privacy laws rammed
through Congress last year."

I believe any further correspondence on this should be kept off-list.
