The [admittedly tenuous] thread joining that rant to your previous post was the fact of someone trying to benefit from your assistance without sharing the benefit with you.

the courts have already ruled you don’t own you own DNA. (case were a DR. used a patient’s gene mutation to make a fortune with a treatment)

That case really pissed me off. If I ever run across the judge, I’m going to demand a DNA swab from him.

Thanks. I liked your reasoning — but I am dense today and was not able to connect the dots. Thanks for doing that job for me today. I suppose I owe you some grey matter.

LOL! Sorry, you missed my last piece by 6 seconds. But I will give you this piece of paper that says you are entitled in the future to some of my grey matter. That was Bernanke's suggestion.

"Anybody that puts data in the public domain must understand the risk."

People should also consider HOW they are communicating when transmitting personal information. Logging into websites or transmitting data that isn't encrypted while connected to an untrusted network, such as a public wireless network, is no different than standing up and shouting out your information to where everyone can hear it.
