Something to be learned is that anything you say or do on the inter-net is there forever. I am amazed what the kids are putting out on their computers, thinking it is private. I remember when the telephone had party lines. We could listen in to our neighbors and they could hear anything we said on our lines. If you were rich, you could have your own private line. But for the rest of us, we had to wait for an open line to make sure the line was free, then you never know who was on listening. Now not only does the government have the opportunity to record what you do on the net, (use the key words, "explosive" "revenge" "bomb" and a few others), and you can be sure you will be reviewed. Then, add to that the fact that anything you write will be forwarded to others. I know it is against the rules, but don't kid yourself. Only send what you want the world to see. Only post what you would say in public, and never expect privacy in today's world. In some ways that is a good thing. There are many times I have deleted something I was going to say. As I have heard, only say what you would say if your mother was listening. That seems to be a good filter. Evan L.
