That's true of nearly everything you do on the 'net, and everyone knows it. And the fact that the 'net is so insecure, doesn't mean we should simply roll over and swallow other threats to freedom as they happen.

So I'm not sure what your point was.

My point was, if you're saying and advocating the kinds of things that are going to make you some serious political enemies, those aren't the kind of things you're going to 100% limit to documents you print at home; that stuff is going to pop up in yuor public speech, as well, and that includes your posts here.

As a man thinketh, so is he. Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. What's inside is going to come out. All that is needed is a little bit of time and you will unmask yourself.

Ask yourself what percentage -- roughly -- of the positions you hold that might be viewed as highly controversial have you NOT discussed openly on-line? How much of the subject matter of what you consider your private thoughts have you really kept 100% to yourself?

I'm pretty sure that, unless you're quite atypical, you've already put enough data out there that anyone who took a serious exception to you could damn you on your public speech alone; without any need to delve into your private archives in your home.

That is the gist of what I was trying to say.
