Then, don't put that in any emails. =20
Anything you have in the public record is searchable, you just have to =
pay a fee to a background info site; there are several of them on the =
internet. They will come up with any civil suits, bankruptcies, =
employment history, list of neighbors, etc. etc.
Again, Beth, if you want to put that contact info in your signature, =
that's up to you. But, just realize emails are not and never have been =
secure. Particularly when you communicate this on a list like this, it =
is out there in the open.

Again, as I told Tom, my signature is an open invite for the RIGHT kind=20
of people to contact me if needed. I have a business email with=20

contact me. I just don't think that anyone should, as I said before,=20
know something about dating violence complaints in 2004 or other thing.
