Perils of online dating prompt safety efforts
> By Verna Gates
Thanks, Verna. Just what America needs -- more fear-mongering.
Better stay at home, folks. Cross that street and the bus will run you down, just as the lightning is striking you.
cheers,
Henry
[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: That is not really true, Henry. First of all, the bus hitting you or lightning striking you are very slim chances, but the chances of (a) some sort of crazy person encroaching on your privacy on line or (b) the chances of your computer being attacked _merely because it is left turned on_ are quite real. You should wish all you had to worry about was lightning or getting hit by a bus ... malfeasance involving your computer is a much more real, more common occurrance. Not necessarily a stalker, perhaps, but some jerk wanting to play games none the less. PAT]
