Elaine,

    This is something our children don't understand or I think, care
    about...Yet. 

    Once information is made public on the net it is there for the
    taking. You have no control over it. I remember when I was younger 
and
    my parents generation was distrustful about giving out information 
and
    I thought it was just paranoia. (cold war stuff). Did you ever look 
at
    the back of your original SS card. It clearly stated "Not to be used
    for identification". Pretty funny now days...not. 

    Identity theft? Its a market now that they are actually insuring
    for. My block policy has coverage to protect me and my family built
    into it. I think this has become a way of life even for people who
    don't have a computer. 

    Anyhow, so much information about us is available with ease that I
    find it unnerving and try not to add to it any way I can. (My name
    even comes up with a name search for Orchid posts. ) 

Mark
