Be careful what you write

Be careful what you write
It’s so easy for people to forget that just because you write something to a specific person doesn’t mean it won’t be shared with others
Once you write something you have to assume it’s going to be available to everyone.
To see how a text message sent to one person can get out to millions of people see the interview at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDG02q2rx9A&sns=em%22%3E
In this interview a text meant for one person ended up being discussed on international tv and in front of a large stadium crowd. While it’s easy to watch the interview and laugh, it’s also a great reminder of how a written message can spread even if the writer doesn’t intend for that to happen
Just something to think about
Have a great day
Lawrence
