Does anyone have any first-hand experience, or opinions, regarding
what Adobe does with one's email address that it requests, and then
requests verification of, when first attempting to use the "Share
Photos" feature of PSE 4.0? (And similarly, of course, all of the
"To: address" recipients)

And, why should PSE need to request internet access every time the
program is loaded?

It's really a shame that all of the abuse has taught us to not trust
anyone anymore isn't it?

Thank you very much for your thoughts,
Robert
