Your asumption is very wrong since:

First of all:

1)  Google is Archiving Mailinglists
2)  I use an E-Mail Address and a REAL NAME
3)  Google KNOW from where I am am sending the message

4)  urchinTracker() now track my IP if I am @CUSTOMER,
    @HOME or in a Internet Cafe
5)  Google can identify my Mozilla/Iceape by cookies
6)  and if I am in a time slot from 1) to 3) then Google
    can assign my cookies and personal data to it...

Do you get it?

Sicne I generaly send only Mailinglist messages from 3 different
places it is hard to detect where I am, but additional surfing
the Internet over customer 

There is NO human intervention neccesary...
It can be done entirely automaticaly.

And even no one is intersted in tracking me, ANY *.gov organisation
can access the Database at any time since Google is an US enterprise
and fall under the "Patriot Act"

Please search Google for it since there are several threads...

In Europe, such practice IS "privacy violation".

Read the thing above...

The analysys was done by the DGSE and the french "Ministry of Defense"
by simulating if with over 2000 test-persons.

In Germany and France are laws and EACH website must have such
disclaimer including its full address and the name of the responsable...

Sead above about sending E-Mails and tracking it back to Web-Surfing.

Note:  Google need to archive Mailinglist infos to do that...

Read the thing abouve

I was nearly 11 years at the French Foreign Fegion and then coming to
the regular army where I was I am programmer and analyst and was working
for the french concurence of the DIA (USA) and there anre many security
issues in the Internet.

I was coding such stuff for years...  And now with cellphones , WAP,
GPRS and GSM it is even more easier to track someone

> If you used Google Analytics, you could find where I'm typing this  
> email... =P

If I do such things on my website, I know there was someone form IP
a.b.c.d and thats all for the moment.

Then, my mailserver is on the same machine and it tracks sending IP's
by date and from whom...

Now a third job run the two databases together...
                                                 ...and mybe I get you!

You can look in the headers of the E-Mail...

Ah...  I see, <lists.php.net> is striping the "Received:" headers...

But anyway, I know your name and E-Mail...
                     ...and will find you maybe on other Mailinglists:-)
