Metadata

http://asofterworld.com/index.php?id=987

You may not know what metadata is, but I do. I use it all the time to find out things people would rather I didn't know. Frankly, I'd prefer to have the metadata than the data itself. What people say to each other is confusing, sometimes intentionally so. But who they say it to, that's much harder to spoof. Metadata doesn't lie, and guilt by association is easy to show and, for too many things, enough to convict.
