"Notice is effective on posting" is so aggressive as to be rapacious Even if the No Advance Notice stuff is acceptable in other internet-user contexts, it is beyond rude, beneath raunchy, it is tantamount to rape for email customers, certainly for those who are paying customers.

Opera should not use cram-down policies when acquiring customers in a buyout. Opera should show everyone else how to do it right, not copy a bad example.

Email customers suffer greatly in the face of "standard" policy for the online world. Opera is acting no differently than Microsoft or any other buyer in a takeover. But these actions are much harsher when the service is email than with just about any other internet service. The Sellers knew that their customers deserved notice, but instead of providing straightforward statements, they changed the privacy policy and terms of service prior to the sale.
