If one is truly concerned about keeping some aspect of one's life hidden, it is unsafe to post it to this list. The archives are publically available and indexed by Google which makes it easy to search for an author's name and whatever search phrases are of interest. This is especially true if, like me, one's name is uncommon. I do not want to feed anyone's paranoia or discourage discussions on any topics. Ideally, one shouldn't have to be afraid of being out in the open, and if we take Ghandi's advice to heart, we do our best to live like that is the case, but I must admit that I hope that certain people never type >>> "Jason Goray" smoking <<< into Google. - Jason Goray Sheridan, NE __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
