I have seen how much revealing too much about one's self can do. I was also once peripherally involved in the aftermath of someone whose microphone was somehow activated when it was not supposed to be, the results were catastrophic to put it mildly. Tape over a lens isn't a reliable long term solution. Now if you want to tell me that there is an equivalent of the lens cap on an SLR camera for cameras, that would likely be an adequate solution. As for what I do in front of a computer, I have a great deal of hesitation having folks know that I don't shave three times a day or that I have a messy computer room. Seriously, the argument asking what I have to hide is irrelevant, I value privacy more than I value a web cam. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
