Too Much Information....that was kind of a personal matter to serve as an example. I wasn't offended, but people should be aware that once information is out on the internet in some form, it's available to anyone with access to Google. Foex, now the nursing home can potentially find out who initiated the complaint. I don't know about VA, but here in AZ that information is confidential, and not released by the agency that investigates this sort of thing. Of course, they would have to look pretty damned hard, (and have a good idea of where to look already) but the name of the patient and the name and home address of the complainant is right there. Not ragging on you, personally, Bill, but lots of people overlook how much personal information they routinely leak onto the net...and it can come back to bite 'em in the end. We've had a few pharmacy students and applicants who have learned this lesson the hard way. The solution, of course, is to change your name, legally, to 'John Smith'. Then virtually no one will ever be able to google you successfully :-) -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
