I've posted it before in discussions, but here it is: my rule no1 when it comes to dealing with internet, email or any other kind of message exchange.
Rule number 1 when posting anything on the net (or via email):
Do not write anything down that you wouldn't want your partner, kids, family, employer, banker, district attorney, worst enemy or anyone else to find out.
It really is that simple. What you post on the net can be around for decades. Until recently, I could still find the very first message I left on a message board, back in 1996 I think. Anyone looking for specific things will be able to turn up anything you posted. Your own words can turn a 'possible but unlikely conviction' into a 'slam dunk'.
Whether you realize it or not: this is self-defense, as much as learning to fight. If you don't want it used against you, then don't post it.
