1) apologies for sending the CNET article twice last week, I'm still
learning how to send anonymous email :-). And I will reduce the
length of my posts, seeing as others thought the CNET information
was spam (I didn't).
2) http://www.vortex.com/privacy/priv.05.18.Z is a lucid explanation for
what *really* is going with lexis-nexis and some of the risks it involves
as we go about setting the rules for online citizenship
3) The Privacy Forum (authors of the above article I suggest people read)
is supported by the ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy and appears
to be a savvy (moderated) publication. Interested folks can subsribe
off of http://www.vortex.com
Cheerio,
