Right to Privacy

The most amazing thing happened. I just received an email from someone at besslerwheel. I'll take the time to answer it but it brings up an annoying fact I've been meaning to mention from the definition of a cult:
  • information management
Most people know they can be fired from their job if they abuse the email system with personal business. How would management know if the email is personal or not? Quite easily. They read them. There are of course automated readers that flag situations. They're available to anyone but large corporations make use of them.

The point is this: Your emails sent using the email function at besslerwheel are no more private than your political leanings toward or against other members. It isn't a secret ballot. I don't have immediate evidence of that but with one phone call I could produce it.

My experience from sitting at a system console of a mini computer system taught me there wasn't a file on the system I couldn't Set ACcess or SAC and read. I'm sure that same functionality is available to everyone's PM's at the forum.

You might take a chance and trust the integrity of Scott Ellis to respect your privacy but the facts put the matter in a different light. I mentioned on the Are you optimistic ? thread how some less than honorable forum administrators have tried to download DOS applications on my computer. That forum was besslerwheel.

I don't mention these annoying facts of the aggressive manner (speaking in psychological terms) some disregard the rights of others out of bitterness. I assert them with proof for the greater good of education.

There is a particular sock puppet on the forum that brags about being "the uneducated". I would never attempt to persaude him from his Ralph mentality.
