Hmm. We seem to have a disconnect in our assumptions. As far as I am
concerned, knowledge (information) is not property. However, life and
all things connected thereto are. I will not steal or otherwise
interfere with your property.

Can I be cognisant of information connected intrinsically with your
existence (eg your feelings on first realising that Amelie Hollande
rather liked you or the day you had your first orgasm)? No. I don't have
the back story of your upbringing and never will. Your back story is, in
part, your property.

Can I be cognisant of the fact that you posted a message to this
newsgroup? Yes and, unless you have an encryption method far superior to
those I know about, you can wave goodbye to your assumptions of privacy
of communication when using a publicly accessible medium.

I will defend unto death your right to exist, but I also defend my right
to detect possible threats to my existence.
