@9,269I'm actually not very paranoid about it all, I take comfort in my many layers of protection. The specific community I participate in has never had any trouble with law, though no doubt it has garnered their attention, they are busy with stupid idiots using Usenet and P2P right now and hopefully always will be. I've talked to a lot of smart and tech savvy people since I started collecting and since then I've moved from being completely unprotected to a CP surfing fortress of Doom.
I have had little bouts of paranoia now and then, usually when I do something stupid and unsafe, but I've never deleted everything because of it.
