Techwhirlers:
Inside all of us are three people. The first person is the one the
community-at-large sees. The second person is the one our families see. The
third is the person only we ourselves see. Can email be any different?
Humankind's various ethical systems have been striving for millenia to
convince people to only show the third person. Let's hope we are eventually
successful in this endevour.
Good luck,
J.P.
