<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">James,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">While I agree this is a lesson everyone
eventually learns, even IBM offers both for its employees, a blogging system
that is internal (IBM employees only can read) and one that is external
(all clients, prospects, competitors and analysts can read). We have found
that some people need to practice on the "bunny slopes" first,
and would prefer not to have their mistakes be so drastic or dire in consequences.</font>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Offering a blog option for students/teachers
eyes only might be the difference between a parent allowing their kid to
participate or not participate.</font>
