Dude i may be overstepping my boundries here being a "newb" and all. But i don`t agree with your "be afraid who ya talk to " ideas.
privacy is a must with me. I don`t have to worry about whom i exchange emails with because i take precautions and use good judgment"common sense".I`m not going to continue to debate that with you.
The internet is a cool place, but there are all types of people with different motives.
I for one take no chances with my privacy. hell, you could get mad at me for disagreeing with you and look for ways to get my ip...never know.right?
