OK. Maybe it's time to end this thread.
Perhaps all I wanted to do is help members who blog to be careful about what they blog?? I don't know if that's possible, now that I read responses...
Blogs are not private. Someone who knows nothing about us here, nothing about the site, nothing about DocJohn can read an offhanded comment and get the wrong impression.
I just wondered if they actually thought about the consequences or not, and how the opportunity to say those things are given to them freely here.
