children and teens, the people who have grown up using computers. How do we get the word out to young adults and even older adults? We have to deal with protecting bank account numbers, credit cards and our Social Security numbers, as well as the cyberstalkers. If Susan had been paying better attention to the type of information she put on her site, the cyberstalker might not have been able to find her.
It is true that things have settled down somewhat; yes, we have started breathing regularly again; but my friend had to change her cell phone number. She is still hesitant to leave her house in case he found out where she lives. She constantly looks behind her as she walks from her car to her work -- watching for today's Wild West villain.

That's a GREAT analogy! The Wild West! Once again, we can learn from the past!
A friend once said "If you are going to be dumb, then you better be tough." She was incredibly stupid to provide personal information and paid a nasty price. It is good that she learned from this.
