Seems like Daisy said the last word on internet by phone.
However, it might be prudent for everyone to remember one thing: on the
internet, there is no such thing as "secure". Your transmission will be
handed off at perhaps 30 different routers, any one of which is hackable
with a few basic skills. Add to that the fact that once it gets to that
first router, it never will go away. Finally, the servers (sic! plural)
where your transmissions are stored are equally hackable, as has been
shown by innumerable breakins. In short, your transmissions in reality
are public property, with the potential for everyone to read them.
Therefore, put nothing on the internet that you do not want everyone to
read. Even if you lead a very dull life and are convinced that no one
is interested, nevertheless it might be wise to avoid using Windows or
your legal name.
