[(C&CD) Moderator's note: The following messages originated in the CuD. I
thought their focus on privacy rights and computers would be of interest to
those who attended C&W8 and listened to any of the presentations there
(including ones by Patty@SDNet "Patricia Ericsson" and CySelfe@MTUS5 "Cynthia
Selfe") on the loss of privacy rights in electronic forums. Also included is
an article listing resources for information on Computer Mediated
Communication -rdr]
