Well, maybe "vaporware" is a touch too strong. But wasn't it supposed
to be released last summer?

hi, Declan and Doran:

Ominous note sent to http://peek-a-booty.org about how encrypted
browser might be stifled from distribution:

quoted from http://www.peek-a-booty.org/pbhtml/article.php?sid=16

"The software hasn't even been released and yet its already setting
off bells. It seems that a nameless backbone provider for our host is
worried that we might run Peekabooty clandestinely somewhere we're not
supposed to...

"We recently received this very pleasant email from addr.com, our
host:"

 >Per the request of our backbone provider we have taken a look at
 your 
site and it is
within our Acceptable User Policy and have informed them.
However, please understand that the software itself, if run on our
servers would be against our Acceptable User Policy.

Best Regards,
John C. ........

Addr.com Support


"So, for the record: we promise that we will not to run Peekabooty on
your servers."

There will undoubtedly be more salvos thrown before this one is
over...

best,

  steve
