I once had a co-worker who would leave nasty notes on my desk. This kept up for several months, and then I started posting her notes on the bulletin
board over my desk. End of nasty notes.
For anyone who would send me a nasty u2u/email, be forewarned that I am likely to make it public. I don't want to see it. With other types of notes, I
try to honor the sender's wishes about sharing it.
My basic assumption is that once I send an email/u2u, I no longer have control over what is done with it, and I write accordingly. The old adage, "If
you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all," is good advice to follow.

Dang, hope you managed to make it back to shore and you are safe and sound! But since you did not report your own drowning, I assume the best. Also
hope the water is a lot warmer over there!

Big Bark -- Small Stalk, mmm, Life in Baja
I too noticed it's the guys with little dogs that bark the most on these forums.
Just like in real life: the bigger the bark the smaller the stalk.

am I hijacking this thread
The Obama Administration is determined to control communications, particularly through the Internet. In 2009 the Obama Administration tested a
data-gathering apparatus through Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and other social networking sites. They did so without notifying anyone of what they
intended to do. They arrogantly invaded the privacy of millions of citizens who use these sites in order to gather information about them, and to
enter their email addresses in a national database.
Here is what the investigation uncovered:
The National Legal and Policy Center* (NLPC) has uncovered a plan by the White House New Media operation to hire a technology vendor to conduct a
massive, secret effort to harvest personal information on millions of Americans from social networking websites. The information to be captured
includes comments, tag lines, emails, audio, and video. The targeted sites include Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube, Flickr and others – any space
where the White House "maintains a presence."
This database was discussed in the previous article in the series. It is provided by Oracle and it enables the government to have broad, sweeping
abilities to spy on average citizens as a matter of routine.
The goal of this database is the development of something called 'Data.gov.' It's objective is to 'redesign the government' using Internet
technology. But with the manner in which the Obama Administration has been using the technology already, the whole thing amounts to
'techno-terrorism. '
The website for 'Government 2.0 Club' provides the details about Data.gov.
The problem with this scheme is encapsulated in this:
"Data.gov has to be comprehensive and timely. While the Constitution calls for separation of powers, we do not believe that Data.gov, run by the
Executive Branch of Government, should be limited to only Executive Branch information. It should encompass all branches of Government and every
independent agency. (p.s. an OPML based list of all government agencies represented in the natural hierarchy of Government should be a data feed!) And
it should constantly be growing.
In other words, in the thinking of those who are developing Government 2.0, Data.gov, and other such far-reaching advancements in the ability of the
government to snoop into our lives, the restrictions of the Constitution are a non-issue. They pose absolutely no roadblock for the technocrats that
sit behind the scenes proposing and implementing these Orwellian plans.
Separation of powers? No problem. That is just a relic from a different era. Obviously, according to the prevailing wisdom of the totalitarians,
consolidation of power is not only preferable, but it is so, well... practical.
Dig deeper, for there is much, much more shocking information- -too much to publish here. But the information contained in the links below will only
serve to confirm the dire, ominous nature of the present push toward centralized government control of all of life.
Threat Level 'Emergency Powers' The Infamous NEA Conference Call Startup Lessons for Gov 2.0 The Platform for Government 2.0
*The National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) was founded to promote ethics, and to give the Code of Ethics for Government (authored by Sen. Paul
Douglas (D-IL) who served from 1948 to 1964). The Code of Ethics for Government "Sense of Congress" resolution was passed by Congress on July 11,
1958 – it urges adherence to the Code by all government.
A main thrust of the NLPC is to give the Code the visibility it deserves. NLPC promotes ethics in public life through research, investigation,
education and legal action.

It works better if you replace the hyphen with a comma. We definitely need a punctuation checker around here.

Oh, and I have no intention of debating this----it is just a heads-up.

Since this thread started as quoted above and was meant to be a heads-up about U2Us in general, I find the different opinions about the u2u very
interesting. Some of the opinions that have been shared.
1. A u2u should be considered private and that should be respected.
2. It is the best place to deal with a disagreement, and privacy should be respected
3. Once something is put on any place on the internet, it is public information and there is no problem with posting and sharing it anywhere--twitter,
here we come.
4. If someone does not like what is written, then it is up to them to decide whether it should be private or not.
5. If someone does not like what is written, it is their duty to share it---sort of like the teacher who collected notes to read to the entire class.
6. Once someone receives an e-mail or u2u it belongs to the receiver and they are free to do whatever they choose with the communication.
7. It is ok to share a u2u if one needs their own opinion affirmed by others.
I am sure there are other opinions about the nature of the u2u and they would be interesting to read. Maybe some of it is a statement on modern
technology and its effects on ethics---and then again, maybe not.
But as the thread started, it is just a heads up that not everyone thinks u2us should be private. There are lots of different opinions about the
nature of a u2u.

Stretching standards. Legally, I believe emails and probably u2u are copyright belonging to the author. For what that's worth...

Once you hit that "send" button it should be considered public domain. Of course you can request confidence but don't bet your life, future, marriage
or reputation on it.....just ask Tiger......dt

I had this friend in grammar school that would often start conversations with
"I'll tell you something if you promise never to tell anyone else about it"
The trouble was that he said the same thing to everyone. Each of us thought he was getting a special deal but, in fact, all of us knew this 'secret'.
I don't know how that relates to U2U's .... but somehow it seems to.

I don't do a lot of u2uing but if I send you one you have my permission to share it as you feel it is appropriate. If I make you angry (not likely) I
will expect it to come back to haunt me. If you send me one and ask me to keep it confidential I will. If you send me a u2u that pi$$es me off I will
do whatever I want with it........sender beware.....dt

Great Post Mr. Durell;
Now on to more important things do you have any concrete proof positive supporting the exsistance of the following things:
Bigfoot?
The Bermuda Triangle disapearence therories?
The shooter from the grassy knoll?
The existance of Angels?
Do you ever have extended conversations with your spirt guide?
The apprehensions of Human Beings by aliens to conduct experiments on our bodies while in their space ships using probes and completly erasing the
memory of the victim at the conclusion of the act?
If so please contact the Obama administratrion they may have a job for you-
