Sound advice Jan. I used to say to my girls "What does Mummy hate most in all the world?" The answer was lies. As long as the truth is out there, I'm happy enough.

There is always a way of finding something on the internet. Even if it is deleted.

Jan Allison

You are tight Tim. I think people think if they delete something that's the end of it .. but a record of it is there forever. Hugs Jan xx

I don't do 2fb Anne Lise either Anne Lise as I have heard of such bullying that people have committed suicide over it - one of my early poems was about cyber bullying. I've see nasty poems posted and removed but what people tend to forget is it will remain on the web even if it's not still 'visible' :-( hugs Jan xx
