Re: The List

[Theresa Lee <tjoyce@mit.edu>]

What, exactly is a private e-mail? Nothing on the internet is private
unless it's password protected. You write words, hit send, you lose control
of that e-mail forever. I'm not saying that decent human beings should be
part of the problem, but just pointing out that there is not really such a
thing as a "private" e-mail.

And remember, e-mail and hard drives have exposed criminals and helped to
solve crimes. Your words can always come back to haunt you. They are out
there whether you hit delete or not. 

Keep the venom spewing, but live with the consequences of all of your actions.

I have enjoyed a virtual vacation from reading/posting and it's been
stress-free not being in the middle of this list (recently peeked at a few
with interesing titles). I love the Celtics, but sometimes this list is
just a hostile place from which to learn or discuss more about them. 

Go C's!
