| Proprietor-Publisher's Note to Our Valued Guests: (2 Nov 06) We interrupt our normal posting schedule to inform you of important matters related to our Web site. The first relates to safe and secure browsing on your part. You have probably heard of phishing, which is the malicious art of capturing people's personal information by making them think they're at one Web site (a bank or favorite shopping site) when they're really at another. How does phishing relate to browsing at this site? To guard against being the victim of any untoward incident, whether at your end (ie, being misdirected to another site) and/or at our end (ie, "hijacking" of our site), please verify that at the bottom of all the site's pages is the following copyright statement: "Copyright (c) 2001-2006 Leonardo L. Sta. Romana All rights reserved." The absence of such a copyright notice indicates that you are most definitely at a fake site, even if it contains some links you might have previously seen at our site (or perhaps, even our entire archive!). Second, we bring to your attention a useful site - Chilling Effects, especially sections on its FAQ about linking (Is "deep linking" illegal?), and John Doe anonymity (Why is anonymous speech important?, and Is anonymous speech a right?). Other helpful sites are listed below. We really see no need to mention this, having taken it for granted, but just for the record, the name of our Proprietor-Publisher is his real name from birth and not a pseudonym, screen name (as in PC screen) or legally changed name. We hope to return to our normal posting schedule shortly. We really cannot express how much we appreciate your continued visits to our site.
