I agree, that there is no privacy if somebody is famous, or if you want to write different things on the Internet, because everybody can read what you write and some employers, especially, may get shocked.

True.

And one of the answers is false.

Sounds to me as though dodo is the only one who's got a handle on truth and reality - either that - or we are being set up. But, I'm sorry to note, I'm way too lazy to determine which is which

So efforts to discuss the question that you put forth, and the time that took, is met with the deliberate use of language that few can understand?  What is the point to that?  Or is the point to be incomprehensible?  Please show respect toward your peers by translating.

If sincere responses are received in this manner, I for one will not bother to get involved the next time.  Perhaps I misunderstood the gesture.

There are some postings written in plain English I do not understand. If I did, I`d feel offended and insulted. Should I start understanding them?

Please show respect toward your peers by translating.

"Thanks, well-deserved praise is always pleasant."

No, you did not misunderstand the gesture.

Yes, that`s why I say there is still some privacy left.

I don't own a mobile. My television has been unplugged for years.

You are a happy exception, Maxi! I`m sincerely glad for you, no kidding.

you have suggested that any of us who say we are happy with our privacy are delusional.

No I did not. But I see the word "enjoy" has caused misunderstanding. I used it in the sense "have as an advantage or benefit". I should have used a different word. My apologies for that. But I cannot edit it now. Sorry!

 

I don't own a mobile.

I do but I keep it turned off at all times, save for emergencies or prior appointments. Should I start fearing something or someone in particular?

If I let my neighbors carry any groceries or anything at all, that would be it, for any privacy whatsoever.

I may gladly accept help from some other people, but not necessarily neighbors, because then I do not know how to handle the  situation. Am I supposed to talk to them all the time for at least a few minutes? I have no idea. Believe it or not, but I am a very private person, regardless of the fact that I write a lot and enjoy talking to different people, even on the train, sometimes.

There`s certainly too many mobiles about my house, but all of those are turned off when we go to sleep. What I absolutely fail to understand is people complaining about being awakened in the middle of the night by silly and even criminal calls but still refusing to turn their phones off. Some seem afraid to do that, I don`t know why. Could anybody explain that to the dumb me?

Originally written by Jacek K. on June 29, 2009 1:29 PM I don't own a mobile. I do but I keep it turned off at all times, save for emergencies ...

That's the only reason why I have one. After I fell on my bike way out there 'where the grass don't grow', and had to walk home with a skittish dog, a heavy bike and an arm broken in two places, a mobile seemed like a good idea.
