Look James obviously this is a very fascinating subject and can be debated to no end but I hardly think this is the proper place or forum to do that. Let's just agree that we both think it is an unscrupulous act to snoop into other peoples private affairs. As far as the technician is concerned I think my point would be that we should both mind our own business and refrain from passing judgement in an area that we both admit having no knowledge of the true facts. I had originally replied to a post about the babysitter scenario to illustrate that invasion of privacy (even when we think we are alone) shows a lack of scruples and that the end does not justify the means. The only final statement I would make about the law and our rights to privacy in response to your "I've also said that we have less legal "privacy" than most people believe, e.g.,medical records, credit reports, etc. Is this something you take exception to?" You will find the individual's legal privacy is directly proportional to the amount of money they are willing to spend on defending their right to privacy. So in part I can take exception but in general I realize it is a hard thing to accomplish for the average person. TTOSBT

OT - Internet Securities Fraud Conviction North Carolina Man Pleads Guilty In Internet Hoax LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A man who posted a fake news story on the Internet earlier this year, in what prosecutors said may have been the first instance of Internet-based stock manipulation, pleaded guilty Monday to federal securities fraud. Gary Dale Hoke, 25, a former employee of PairGain Technologies Inc., was arrested on April 15 and charged with posting a bogus story that said PairGain was the target of a billion-dollar corporate takeover.
