I would like to pose a question to all you Blenderites... Do you think it is possible to be stalked via the internet?<BR>

Thank you for the words of encouragement.  I am glad that someone with whom I am clearly enjoying reading appreciates my words as well.  Cool.  Yeah, I did think your chronology hovered near early twenties or late teens.  I am all but a child myself ay 26!  You speak of experiences from that age, yet you describe them with such maturity and understanding.  For example, in cherries, you didn't get caught up in the skill of tying knots - you understood the effect it was having on the other person.  Most people your age (sorry, I know that sounds matronly) would have written that piece in a more bragging tone.  You realize the sexual power it emits.  You seen in tune with your surroundings - I know I was more flakey at that age (still am!).  <BR>

Yes, stalking (in an altered form) can occur via the internet.  Once someone knows your email address, the box is open for tinkering.  Just protect yourself and don't g

Yes, stalking (in an altered form) can occur via the internet.  Once someone knows your email address, the box is open for tinkering.  Just protect yourself and don't give out any personal info about yourself.  Thanks to Kirk, this site is pretty hard to crack as long as the writer keeps quiet about his/her role in 'the real world'.  It is difficult to keep your life private when all around you are so many talented people that you want to discuss and learn from.  I have been corresponding with one Blenderite and hope that your future encounters with Blender mixers is as wonderful.  Good Luck, <BR>

Well, I don't know what I do, other than making a reasonably secure signup process, along with not asking for too much information to begin with.
