>>according to Michel, Michel blocked all of the emails at the firewall level so the only option left is snail mail. I think I would walk away, guilty or innocent.
That's not entirely the message Michel conveyed... and I wouldn't walk away. IMHO online trails left today will be highly visible in as little as 5 years. Even previous attempts to search email addresses on Facebook are becoming accessible now.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
