If you build it, they will come.

Cut the crapola... I think you're in denial.  Where is there a privacy issue here?

The issue isn't the service itself...the issue is the large number of
privacy violations combined with Verisign's anti-competitive history
(http://www.nuclearelephant.com/papers/verisign.html).  Is catching a
type-o really worth the risk of your personal information, passwords,
session ids, and addresses of the people you email getting out to
marketing agencies?  I think not.

A type of type-o catch is a great idea, and should definitely be
implemented __as a software solution__ in web browsers...where it
doesn't affect the entire Internet community, and there is less of a
privacy risk.  Then, any privacy issues you DO have can be easily
remedied by using a better browser.

Truly sad.  I personally liked the service... I'm prone to typoz (did I
mean typos?) with every sentence I write.
