I was chatting to one of our younger friends. he pointed out with surprise that what he and I were doing was identical with what a predator might do with a young person online with a view to "grooming" them for abuse. Or rather he pointed out that it LOOKED identical.

That worried us both a little.

He'd been reading a report about predators and th einternet. Frankly he and I think the dangers are overstated, but that they are finite.

I took what he said to heart and started to create a page for here that deals with personal safety. I would appreciate your comments on http://iomfats.org/resources/personalsafety.htm please, in order to make it more useful.
