...I am posting the contents of my e-mail to Gary so as not to get caught up in demonizing anyone:
"I think you should know that people can track you through your ISP
number. Anything you say on the internet can be used in evidence against
you. As far as I know, email is not monitored, but I suspect that will
change also.
Paco"
My (private) e-mail was simply a word of caution about the dangers in public proclamations of illegal drug use. Here is my second (private) e-mail to Gary:
"I didn't say you are being tracked, but that you could be. I think cops are
using the internet more and more. If you post that you use illegal drugs,
anyone can find you. I, personally, am in favor of legalization of all drugs,
but with control by the government and medical profession. But I know that in
places like where I live, they will still put you in jail and ruin your life if
you are caught. I e-mailed because I didn't want to put it on the board. Don't
get defensive. I'm not attacking or even criticizing you.
Paco"
I will not post Gary's e-mail response, because I respect his privacy. He of course is free to post his own e-mail. I also want to assure you, Jimi, that I don't consider you or anyone else to be an oinker. I don't believe in name-calling or villifying but if what I said to Gary offends you, it was not intentional and I apologize.
For you, Gary, I will not bother you with any more advice.
I also apologize to everyone else for taking up your time with this crap.
