 JN>  And by being public, it invites newcomers, or non-family
 JN>  as someone called it.  How the heck do echoes receive new
 JN>  members if they were closed?  How did that person who
 JN>  is complaining get to join MEMORIES in the first place?
 JN>  She (gender taken from Jim's post) was non-family until
 JN>  she read and posted.

absolutely!

 JN>  No one should have an expectation of privacy outside their
 JN>  home.  Bank cameras, 7-11 cameras, red-light cameras, FOX
 JN>  TV at NFL games, none of them are an invasion of privacy.
 JN>  If someone has a problem with that, let them spend the rest
 JN>  of their life at home, locked up in the bedroom.

And wireless FM CCTV Cameras have now been miniturized as a button
on a jacket, clocks, thermostats, fire sprinklers, a pack of
cigarettes, a boom box, etc. These are only the ones I recall
reading about.  You're probably being watched MUCH more closely
than you realize.
