Er, hello?  Heard from where?  From who?  And you believed it?

Excuse me, good sir, but I use the Web for research at work.  I work
at a major law school.  I use the Web to find out what my favorite
author is getting ready to publish.  I use it for research on my 
historical novels-to-be.


 I can not control what others think. The way I look at it using

I'm not really sure what the final paragraph has to do with the 
topic, but your first sentence, you cannot control what others think, 
is dead on.  However, information can be used and presented in
a positive way, and it is to the SCA's advantage to get on the 
information superhighway.  We're not an "underground" organization, 
and we don't want to hide.
