Well, other than the NSA, of course. ::)

Ah, ok. I hadn't really looked into it, it's good to know that distinction.

The NSA has not the time nor the care to read your e-mail unless it contains a series of keywords. That said,

This made me laugh out loud, would be hilarious if the first line of the e-mail was, "now that I have your attention"

Paynesgrey:
No NDA's for me.  My betas are all friends, I pay them in beef jerky, kind words, and promises of a t-shirt if I ever sell enough books to have a few t-shirts made.  In some cases I have the pleasure of providing my own rudimentary attempts at being beta for their work.

For storage, I use laptop, email, and dropbox as well as the odd flash drive.  And my betas have copies in their emails should I ever have a total crapocalypse.
