Just the way society has become. There are plenty of good people out there, but there are some bad people too. I don't like it, it's just the way we've become. <br />I understand why some people are afraid. I have a friend who always has an open door policy, and he's a magnet for the scum of the earth. I've seen him get bitten more times than I can count.<br /><br />I'm quite happy to help anybody who asks but even I've been stung. I don't stop helping people, I just change my tactics.<br />I often give out my mobile phone number, I don't have a home phone. It's a matter or convinence rather than security. I do however have two emails, one for trusted traffic and one for unverified.
