I agree. You don't realize how nice SI is until you log onto a place like AOL where you are constantly bombarded with hard-core porn messages and downright-fraud.

Last night someone who claimed they worked for AOL contacted me and wanted my password. And, B4 I limited my email, I was bombarded daily with 40 or 50 spam messages. Most posts dealt with porn. Most posts were devious. The writer suggested that he worked for AOL or was a friend but when you brought up the e-mail it was either hard-core porn or someone was suggesting that you invest in "X".

If Scott knew his kids would be bombarded with this stuff, he might think twice about the privacy and security issues.
