"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini

Ignorance is preferable to error; and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing, than he who believes what is wrong.

I wouldn't worry too much unless you don't have a firewall. Some guy in a chat room talked my son into turning off the firewall so he could supposedly help him with a problem. I told him it was a bad idea but let him do it. Sure enough, the guy installed a remote access program that allowed him to control our computer. We uninstalled it and my son got to hear, 'I told you so' for the umpteenth time.

I'm a computer software idiot, so we got something better than a firewall--We have a lens cover. But, it doesn't matter, because neither my wife nor I knew you could use a webcam in chat rooms. Damn, I feel stupid!
