Like many techno-newbies, I wrestle somewhat with concerns about privacy and with my own comfort level "putting myself out there" in the digital world. For this reason, I was quite disconcerted when I found "junk mail" on my blog. It had not occurred to me that someone might choose to use this forum as a foot in the door to deliver his or her personal agenda. Does this kind of thing happen all the time? Is this just an occupational hazard when creating such a public document as a blog? I couldn't help but feel it was an invasion of my personal space but then I guess a blog isn't my personal space anymore is it? I guess I will have to reevaluate my sensibilities if I want to become a true blogger. In the meantime, off to the junk pile it goes!
