Check Your Judgments, Eh?

Fascinating take on identity and anonymity on the 'Net. While is emphasis is on "adult communities", it's certainly applicable to all of our Internet activities - as Ben Franklin said (and this article quotes) "Three can keep a secret, if two are dead."

A conference about identity on the Internet almost succeeds in squashing the sex-positive optimism that usually permeates Sex Drive. Commentary by Regina Lynn.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
