   But that doesn't mean we have to make it easy for the Spying Bastards!!!   
      
   Actually, there's a LOT that can be done, like Limiting or better yet,   
   Excluding sensitive content!   
      
   Even back in the days of BBSs (I sure miss those), I used to advise that   
   it's best to never say anything online that one wouldn't want to say in   
   court, or before congress, because if one is not careful, it could quite   
   possibly come to that!

   Except for the drums ;)   
      
   Highland bagpipes are quite loud acoustic instruments too ;)

   I just can't understand how someone can enjoy playing with a band when   
   theirs is the only instrument they can hear.

   But it's Vital to Hear the band in order to play With the band.

   It's not sealed, the top is wide open so the sound is directed upwards - the   
   cage only prevents everyone being hit in the face by the wave fronts   
   produced by the drums.   
      
   > you're kinda squeamish ,  huh ?   
      
   I'm not squeamish, I just Hate being stuck with needles!
