As for email addresses, you may want to quickly create a new one specifically for communication with OffRecord. You can create on here at www.Gmail.com. An example gmail account might be JohnOffRecord@gmail.com. Come up with an address which makes it difficult to associate with you - not a name, nickname or pet name that may be connected to your identity. You must however check it regularly if this is our primary connection link - and again, it is important you be sensitive to not using work facilities to check this address. It is also worth noting that Google, like many of America's technology companies, have been under significant media scrutiny, as there are claims that they (like other technology companies) seem to be relenting and giving-in to Federal Government and their related crony's pressure to give more access and data about "We the People" than free citizens should truly be exposed too --- no matter how much the government claimes to want to protect "us"...however, some of these claims that the government is getting more access may be unfounded; but the range and reach of NSA tapping is truly difficult to ascertain. Neither side would confirm such. Regardless, you must exercise your own judgement on what to use as medium of communication and creating a temporary email address may be one effective means you choose to utilize.
