We. The "users". When we, as individuals, ponder, and learn some basic
and indispensable things, and when we are applying them in our daily
practice, then all the rest will *have* to learn few bits of this and
that too, just in order to communicate with us, and to share our common
communication environment.
If I know that someone is not practising appropriate methods in making
his/her machine "safe", I will not accept an invitation, for instance,
to "chat" with him/her, will not share files with etc. So, if someone
really wants me in this environment s/he will *do* what is needed.
Like a "safe sex". You have to know/learn some facts about physiology,
sociology, psychology, anthropology, cosmogony...even if you are not an
"expert", that is a physiologist, sociologist etcetera. You surely will
not have/invite a "third person/part" to give you a "technical support"
in the moment you have a wish to spend few minutes, or hours, or
days...with your sweetheart.
("You" is here used in a "narrative" fashion; it's not a direct
addressing to you.)
