Not really, Pers. Just make sure that your webcam is pointing *away* from
you while you're online. You can't be too sure, nowadays.

It's the circumstances that I'm concerned about, Pers. One day you're giving
out the same helpful advice to some evil troll that you gave ANOTHER evil
troll only minutes before, and the next day - faced with the same thing -
you finally "loose" it and start issuing death threats, or something. This
has been known to happen. Be careful.

Cathartic, isn't it?! The icing on the cake is when the recipient gets
upset. Heaven and Bliss!

Correct answer, Pers! You see, you've grasped this whole thing perfectly!
Yes!

Sure is, Pers! But if you finally "loose" it . . . . wow!!!
