   I sure miss the days of BBSs, where there were also forums, and even back   
   then, I've always advised not to say anything that one wouldn't want to say   
   in court, or before Congress, because it could very well one day come to   
   that!

   I've been ready for that ever since I first went online, with an Atari 800   
   and a 300 Bd modem ;)   
      
   And back in the day, I regularly used to use PGP encryption on messages that   
   were the Bill Of Rights and such...hoping the NOW Spies and other Agents   
   might actually care enough to read it, and maybe even Learn something ;)
