Things forgotten are not necessarily past. Don't focus on the threatening cloud focus on the rainbow

In talking with friends recently I have been having all sorts of realizations one of which is something that is a dirty secret of mine and something I haven't really talked about enough

Angelo - I love the honest, and even poetry of your blog entries. But perhaps I can relate a story of LJ use that might make you understand a bit about why others have issues with you sharing things they don't think are appropriate on the web.

I have 3 friends, we'll just label them A, B, and C. Friends A and B are roommates. Friend B maintains an LJ where they share most anything with most everyone. Friend C is on the phone talking to friend A about acquiring a small amount of pot, which friend B overhears. Friend B writes about it on their LiveJournal, without telling friend A (they don't even know friend C more than as a casual acquaintance). A few days later friend C is now furious with friend A because a mutual friend of theirs read about this on the internet, and they had some expectation of privacy on a phone conversation etc.

I'm not saying who was right, who was wrong, or even if acquiring a small amount of pot is something that one should care about, but the point is it matters some to others involved, and the levels of privacy expected by other varies, and deeply matters to some while others (like yourself) it doesn't matter as much.

Just a little "food for thought".

Good luck in everything,
