A lot of people, myself included, are concerned about our privacy on the
Internet. The problem is that it's impossible to hide on the Internet.
If you take part in any sort of activity that's anywhere near the
Internet, it's possible that someone can find your name out there.

To be honest, and I hope I don't upset you with this comment, I think
you may be overreacting just a teeny bit. That BBS actually DOES have
access by authenticated login and password. I don't think you've been
overly exposed on the Internet by a search engine 'finding' that page.

Please don't hide away - we'd miss you far too much here!

Chris
