Surprised?

Notwithstanding years of usage, Internet never ceases to surprise me! It never disappoints me either. Every time I challenge it with what I think it may be a difficult search, it gets back with loads of information, and off I go, in turn challenged by it, into many different directions and wonderful new discoveries, and learning experiences. A host of opportunities are out there, ready to be used!

I also marvel every time I get email from some corner of the world, often remote, and I am not talking about spam or similar annoyances. However, being reminded that whatever we type in and post through this marvelous (and still free service) is going to (re)appear somewhere (and may haunt us back some day), just keeps me on my toes. It's also an unsolicited and free 'librarian' of our writings over the years. Just the other days I came across some messages I contributed about 10 years ago to a couple of netgroups that were just being formed then. It's a silent, but efficient partner that can be whatever you want it to be -- so use it properly!
