What about newsgroups, forums and listserves? Do I need to be concerned about privacy issues?
Messages you post to a public newsgroup or forum are available for anyone to view, copy, and store. Also, your name, email address, and information about your service provider are usually available as part of the message.

Most public postings made on the internet are archived in searchable files. That means that your public messages can be accessed by anyone at anytime.

Online newsletters and listserves are sent to a mailing list of subscribers. If you want to privately reply to someone who has posted a message in an online newsletter or listserve, be sure you address it with that person's address, not to the newsletter address. Otherwise, you might find that your message has been sent to everyone on the mailing list.
