Okay mister EXPERT prove that what I wrote is not factual or
accurate! People like you usually check out hazards before they
become victims, what is your excuse?
1. Your preposterous claim that:
>> If you have a computer and connect to the outside world you just
gave up your privacy with regard to what you do while connected
to the outside world. <<
Now I've spent a lot of time on the internet and this is the first
I've heard of that rule. Who made it? M$? Or one of the other
corporations that want to own the net? Or maybe a cabal of all the
corporations?
Maybe it was the CIA?
"People like" me? Why am I bothering to answer someone who thinks
ranting is reasoning?
2. The extremely extravagant claim that:
>> Every thing you do on your computer
through any outside connection is recorded and is basically
publically accessable to any one. <<
Do the banks know that? Do the corporate executives know it?
So you know, or are able to discover, everything I've ever done on the
internet?
3. The sweeping claim:
>> Having the header information
of an e-mail is no big deal. <<
I wouldn't raise the issue if there was nothing in the public
information that I don't want publicised.
My email provider is looking into it.
It would serve OpenOffice right if it found itself on the receiving
end of litigation for breach of privacy, unauthorised publication and
non-disclosure of terms. And any other available cause of action.
4. This weird statement:
>> If you do not want people to know
who you are or what you are doing or where you are going with
your computer don't connect to the outside world. <<
Now you're going to tell me that you know who I am, what I'm doing and
where I'm going.
And you've got the same information at your fingertips for everyone
else who has ever been so foolish as to "connect to the outside world"?
Just for your benefit I will post the header from the e-mail that
you sent your latest reply. you can find it at the bottom of
this post. Any time you send any communication to any one all
the information about where that file was is in the e-mail
header. Every computer that was used to send that e-mail to the
destination has the information. < snip >
What on earth does that have to do with OpenOffice
(a) publishing that stuff on the web and
(b) neglecting to warn anyone beforehand that it intended taking that
extremely unusual, unnecessary and inconsiderate action?
I'm not complaining about recipients of my emails knowing whatever
they can find out from my emails.
I'm complaining about one of them (supposedly a community
organisation) telling the whole world.
I know a lot more about this sort of thing than you think I do.
The government where you and I live has the ability to monitor
every thing you and I do and they use it.
Yes. Well, paranoia's all that keeps me going as well.
To make the point again. I'm not complaining about the government
knowing anything. I'm not complaining about recipients of my emails
knowing anything. I'm not complaining about OpenOffice knowing anything.
I'm pointing out (that's all) that OpenOffice, without a word of
warning, is publishing that information on the web and doing so
unnecessarily and for the possible benefit only of those who would
misuse the information.
It's interesting to me (and that's all) that anyone can be so
benighted as to believe that is an appropriate way for a community
organisation to behave.
