I was wondering since we all communicate in some way online
here on the boards,Which form of Online Communication do you
trust the most to talk to you friends online.
A Chat
B Instant Messaging
C E-mail
D Private Messaging
E None of The Above

Well, that's a toughie. I picked instant messaging because I've been doing IMs since the fall of 1997 (email has IM's beat, I started in January of 1997). I do NOT trust chatrooms anymore. IM's and PMs/emails were hard to choose for me, but that's what I chose in the end. :lol:

either instant messaging or private messaging, but since I have to choose one, then it would be......

private messaging

As often said on The X-Files, "Trust no one".

I don't fully trust anyone on-line.

PM, Email, and IM are pretty equal for me. No way do I trust chatrooms though.

I don't trust any method of online communication. The rule of thumb is--Don't ever put into writing anything that you wouldn't want anyone to read.

It's a few e:mails that are burying Martha Stewart, and the Enron execs were sloppy with e:mails too.
I still write what I want to whom I want, but I should be more careful myself. Then again, I'm not into insider trading or embezzling pension funds.

There are some real horror stories out there regarding e:mails being forwarded on purpose or sent to the wrong person by mistake. People lose jobs, friendships, even marriages. Your written words can come back to haunt you.

Gotta be careful. :typing:

None. It's the internet!

IM's.

I agree so none of the above for me.

PMs I guess.

PMs and email.

Even though I posted this pole,I would say I trust PM,I didn't vote
though,I pm a few on these boards,my name is included in my
siggy but no last name,I don't reveal information or personal questions,I make up most of the conservation anyway,I don't
use offensive language so I expect the recipents to be the same.

LOL, that just struck me as so funny. :lol:

The only people I trust are people I actually know offline.....so, sorry all. I've never met you. For all I know, you could be psychopathic, child molesting, cold-blooded murderers who try and act nice to me so you can lure me in and kill me in my sleep. Well, no one is getting my address. :p Not even you, Crystal.

I'm surpised no one tried to mail a letter bomb to Nate after he gave out his address online. He was asking everyone to send him one dollar so he can go to England to be an old guy in a hat who drinks wine all day long. Freak. :lol:
