From - Nate Sammons:
"My concern is that it is becoming more and more common for people to "grow up" on the net, many people I know of started quite young, and a determined opponent (as I'll call the snooper) could, concieveably search your entire posting history." Indeed, just from reading the postings to this and the extropians list for a few weeks, now, my neurological system has become impressed with info on one particular person such that I now know: his employment history & when he retired his present entrepreneural activities and other present interests & pursuits that he has wide feet which are his buddies on the two lists which are the women on the other list who typically disagree with him that the Energizer Rabbit (LD) considers him an enemy that he's up late, sending out posts at 2:00 a.m. some of his opinions on gender some of his opinions on women how he deals with argumentive conflicts I think someone mentioned he has beard (and it's possible I could get a dot-matrix print out of his image) where in the world he lives his past awards for a scientific discovery what kind of tub he bathes in And this is just from memory, I haven't intended to develop a file, but delete most messages once I have read them. Pretty good, for just browsing :>) Blanc
