Dirty Laundry Online

Be careful what you write online, whether it is in email, a blog or otherwise. You never know if the data may become available to the public. Just take a look at this Enron email avaiable for any pairs of eyes online to peruse. As I am a news junkie, from time to time (and not on a daily basis), I read some headlines. Lo and behold! - I came across this story on Wired. The Wired article mentions that these Enron emails contain information such as: "... All this among countless jokes about Texas, sex, nuns, women, Latinos and priests. " Beyond tacky, I might add.

I haven't taken the time to go in there and read much what the supposedly private email typed by morons and victims alike at that meltdown company (Enron was indeed one of the biggest corporate flameouts in recent history). I am sure it is more interesting than wadding through spam on any given day. Speaking of spam: recent estimates are that at least 70% of all email on the Internet is Spam. Additionally, AOL users have reported the most common type of spam noted by contents in 2005 - Penis Pump. Most people who have been online for any length of time might think: if cyber newbies would never bother with reading spam, and never, never, never responding to it, spam would should then go away, right?
