I think there are dangers on online forums, but not the ones most people think about. Several young friends of our grandchildren were too sharing of their good times in college and some not great language, all read by prospective employers.


When you put yourself out there, the world reads it.


I don't like Facebook as much as this forum. (PLEASE Don't hurt my feelers, I know I post too much) but this forum is made up of peers. I love that.


Even if we have strong opinions and don't always agree, I still feel the kinship and find it easier to understand some of the jabs. Not everyone is happy or feeling well sometimes and they believe in their views sincerely and honestly, even if they differ from mine.
