Re: leaks..
It wasn't "this day and age", it was "that day and age". We tend to take progress for granted, its difficult to think back to a time when we couldn't get decent mail traffic into a phone even though that time was only a relatively few years ago.
Although, owning physical server hardware doesn't make a lot of sense unless you can't trust an ISP to keep your confidential material secure (but then, what's confidential about email anyway?).
The fuss about emails is really fallout from numerous Congressional inquiries into Benghazi, none of which turned up anything substantive. Whatever you think of the Clintons politically what's been going on is a full on witch hunt -- its as if people like Darryl Issa just can't give it a rest and take up doing something real for the nation, they just want to keep tilting at that particular windmill just in case something turns up eventually. (All they're really doing is feeding a giant conspiracy theory machine, doing harm to our nation and society in the process, just to further their personal ambitions.)
