Count me among the refugees from that other site. On one hand, I agree that we are right to be concerned that our privacy could be compromised. However, we need to be honest about this brave new electronic world in which we live. Every keystroke we make is recorded somewhere, by computers programmed to email us advertisements trying to sell us vacations, property, insurance, or, in this case, incontinence supplies. In the face of this commercial onslaught, old taboos are dropping like rain from a thunderstorm. We need to develop a new sense of privacy, one that acknowledges both who we are, and that takes seriously the threats to who we are.
