A potential problem?

[joe552]

This isn't the only internet forum I post to (go on, call me an internet slut, I don't care). It occurs to me, though, that I'm sure many of us are on different sites at the same time, What if our concentration slipped for that vital minute?

I'm a member of a local community forum in Dublin, focusing on old photos of our grandparents and their stories. What if, late at night, after a bottle or thee, I inadvertently post there about the 18 year old I shagged from Sunee? They're a nice bunch of mainly middle aged people, like myself, but I think it might be reported to the admin of the site.

So how to guard against such a slip-up?

I’ve been worried about the same thing, Joe. What if the text of one of my SGT posts was inadvertently included in an email to my sisters, my business partner, my employees?

Of course if things went wrong, we could always try
“It wasn’t me”
“Someone hacked my email account and is sending salacious messages”
”My laptop was stolen. Sorry if you got any offensive emails”

Long ago, during my very brief FB experience, a guy in Manila decided to insert “In partnership with James” on my home page. My excuse to my sisters was that James was a disgruntled brother of a young lady I met in the Philippines. I think that worked.

So, post sober and wide awake are the only safeguards I can recommend.

Good advice bob, only problem is the "post sober" bit. Ain't gonna happen

This is an unlikely scenario.

A more likely scanario is to accidentally e-mail erotic photos on one's PC or phone ? One false button press from the Android photo gallery & the photo is already attached to an e-mail. All it needs is a second button press to put in a recipient and a third one to send (or something like that).

Or much more likely, simply attaching the wrong file to an e-mail.

Or just live an open and honest life and then you'll not have to worry about screwing up or giving a shit what anyone else thinks anyway ....you could always try that ?

[joe552]

goji, I have no idea what you just said. I don't have a smartphone. But you seem to suggest it takes 3 steps to do this - shirley you'd notice by then?

NIrish, I do live an open, honest and celibate life here in Dublin. My important siblings II have 2 of lesser importance) know my taste, but I don't want them to know the graphic details.

worst case scenario is a " pocket call" or in this case a pocket email or sms with pics attached...

latiin, I have no idea what you just said.

You need to get with the programme Joe, my mother is 80+ and would understand that and carry out such functions regularly on one of her many devices - usually much to my annoyance when I discover her creating "groups" and all sorts on WhatsApp etc and usually include distant family members on same, when who the people she's listing can barely all can't stand each other and all without her realising what she's ACTUALLY doing ( or so she claims, perhaps she's just a wicked sense of humour !?)

Likewise she gets very pissed off with the "man" who delivers her emails when he "doesn't" - or more accurately when he doesn't get this done "before he leaves in the evenings" ( this is usually after she gets a "undeliverable" bounce message back). Likewise if it's during the day I'm then told that "the man who looks after her emails" may well be on his lunch break but she's sure he'll be back soon to look after it "as he always sends all her other stuff quite promptly she finds"

To be fair this was a while ago now and she IS actually reasonably savvy now and does send pics and attachments and starts video chats and all sorts now all on her own - so yes Joe, time to brush up on your tech it seems when an 80 year old woman is starting to show you up !
