We all were, my friend.
Remember some of the earliest google searches you did? Google does!
At the time, we had no idea EVERYTHING was being recorded in complete detail for all time. I've always been paranoid (skeptical, questioning, curious are better words).... and even I didn't fear the internet adequately at first. I saw its potential sooner than most, but it took me until a few years ago before I really saw where it was all heading.
I'm sure there are MSN video chats of me without my pants on, sitting in a bank of hard drives somewhere, perhaps a datacenter in Utah, waiting. Just waiting.
Oh well! Onward we go, right? LOL
