Ah, but that's part of the grand experiment here, isn't it? I'm afraid of that,
too, but part of FoRK is standing up to those fears. Per our wampeter, via FAQ:
"SECOND, there is no rule but the first. I know this puts everything
out in the sunshine, and thus wilts the dark cabbage of unrefined
VOX-like splimmage in the day, but that's precisely what I want. I'd
like to see what happens over the years." [and much later...] "It's
only a social experiment to see how open people will be on the record.
"
I'll keep ya posted, we'll see if there's ever any fallout. Just remember I
undertook this experiment for the greater good. :-) To the point: I'm not
bothered by the idea of being *photographed* in public IRL on a soapbox, as one
might assume that once I ascended that soapbox I no longer had a reasonable
expectation of privacy. I *am* bothered by the idea that I might be photographed
scratching my nuts as I walk down a darkened side-street to my car after a night
of carousing downtown, and this might then show up online or elsewhere.
