General reminder about LJ

[dsrtao]

Even if your post is private or friends-locked and all your friends are absolutely trustworthy...

SixApart/LiveJournal will happily turn over everything you ever wrote to a lawyer with a subpoena.

It won't happen to you, of course. You have nothing to hide, and you never write anything that you wouldn't send immediately to your ex, your parents, your kids, your boss, your investors, your competitors, your parole officer (you don't have one? just wait...) and your neighbors. You know, the ones with the Repent Now! sign on their lawn.

Has there been a particular incident which has prompted the reminder?

Also, Times Square is more private, due to the noise and the fact that no-one's listening.

Nothing happened to me, but there is a particular incident I am thinking about which is exactly the case described.

[dlevey.livejournal.com]

That's what I thought. Is this a public story, with a link you could share?

[dsrtao]

No, else I would have done so.

Suffice it to say it was a very ugly divorce with child custody involved (no, not Schuldy).

Yeah, I was just thinking that about Times Square. Nobody is going to care.

"To the defense security clearance investigation board"

On the front page of the local newspaper.

Nobody reads that, and nobody who reads that believes it.

Is that missing a smiley on purpose?

;)

I thought the sarcasm of addressing that to a once and current newsie would be enough.

Ahh, OK.
