That is what I like about BBS's.  I can talk to people with Silicon Valley editoralising, without surveillance, without having the conversation be the record of the world.  I kind of do wonder about how 'private' it really is. I mean, I know its not secret, but its not that public.

Communication would be different if you know that everything you said was tracked, logged, could be scrutinised anytime in the future by anyone.  You'd live with it, but it would change you.

.... Some people have no idea what they're doing, and are really good at it!
