SAFETY ON THE INTERNET
Most Genealogist today make heavy use of the Internet.
The Internet is an almost magical tool - as compared to the research methodologies of the 20th century (though in many ways it is a double edged sword)
Education and common sense practices about being safe on the Internet are important to follow (though some people totally blow the perceived threat out of proportion)
Here are some links about Internet Safety and common sense practices as well as a discussion of misperceptions about Internet safety and practices. as well as some discussion about how this applies to genealogy.

In my opinion in this subject area - education and common sense - are much more important than just sharing over-hyped fears about the Internet threats.
wondering what others may think - contrasting ideas are always welcome.
