01 Before the news : a note of sanity
You realize we are referencing and linking to many news stories on sites that go against our Safenetting grain. It is truly unfortunate that we've come to the point where even the entities that the world has come to follow and trust have now become serious spam sites. Some are far worse than others -- but all of the sites with cyber news unfortunately include stalker links, predators and possible click-wear.
Be very careful what you click! LOOK FOR the Firefox 'READER' icon in the address window to read the articles without the risks! If you haven't seen it yet -- our alert will show you how to use the reader function.
