Geez, Tim, and felt bad for "joshing" you a bit for your burnout video the other day! These guys are BRUTAL! One of my sons has a Myspace page, and the other has a page in Facebook, so I have SOME knowledge of what it's all about! It's NOT the sites that are "bad", per se, but the PREDATORS that peruse them, looking for an innocent kid who has revealed TOO much personal information! I knew my kid had a place in Myspace, but hadn't checked it out. Over on the KL Board someone had posted information on how to check if your kid had an "open" Myspace page... go to Myspace, and go to "search", and type in the local Zip code. I did just that, and COULDN'T believe how much personal information you kids (and some adults) reveal in their pages! I found out a close neighbor (within a block) has a pretty kinky side (I wonder if her husband knows!), and I found the site of a Goddaughter of mine (who is married and has little kids), and was DISTURBED by what she has uploaded there. All I can say is WATCH OUT! Not everyone in cyberspace is "good folk"! (I don't know what I would have done, had we had such a thing 35 years ago... between working on the farm, and entertaining a couple of GF's, I wouldn't have had time for the 'net!)
