I say NO to everything FB asks me in regard to making data public. Just last 
night Google wanted permission to crawl up inside my computer and do stuff with 
its software. For whatever it was worth, I didn’t allow it.

The internet is basically anarchy, and is likely to remain that way because 
it’s too big and complex for any kind of regimentation or accountability. The 
best I figure we can do is post nothing that we wouldn’t like to see on the 
Times Square tickers, and watermark the crap out of photos we post anywhere 
other than Zone-10, and maybe even there if word keeps getting around.

Which leads me to ponder—should we turn Zone-10.com/TOPE2 off for Google and 
other search engine bots? Make that part of the site as invisible as possible 
to the general public? Can you take part of a site dark? I know you don’t want 
to take the whole thing off the grid. Of course I did make a sale based on a 
customer finding a picture of mine on Zone-10, so . . . 

Sigh.

I may be a cock-eyed pessimist, but I just don’t see how we peasants are going 
to get anything in our favor where the internet is concerned.
