Hi all, I'm new to the list, but I agree with this past statement, that the quotes taken from this list could very easily be assigned a source with simple searching. So anonymity is definitely not guaranteed. It would be unfortunate for a journalist to publish information and have the people who believe this board is a safe place to share information (quietly) find that it is not.

I would point out, for the information of list members, that the precautions that Annette is taking to preserve anonymity are not a guarantee. Given the capability of Web search engines, it may well be possible (or become possible in the future) to locate the source of a quote, particularly if it is longer than a sentence or so. I would suggest, as a precaution, that Annette make non-substantive changes in the quotes, particularly the longer ones. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Annette Leibing" To: Sent: Monday, November 21, 2005 12:22 AM Subject: quoting | Dear Listmembers, | | as I told you recently, I am studying how people help themselves.
