Perhaps I should clarify, because I think we're arguing semantics. I was sincerely sad when I read this story. My problem is that I can't find pity for this woman who says she was victimized because she did everything short of take the pictures and email them to this guy.

I don't think it matters what level of technical saavy she possesses. And no, I don't feel superior. I think if you don't know that when your webcam is connected there are images transmitting, you don't get to be "ruined for life" when you find that out.

And I didn't "accuse her of stupidity" - I said she invited it. Again, back to the open door and the thief. Why do they sell door locks? Who figured that one out - someone who got ripped off once, maybe?

And yes, I'm stupid about a myriad of things. But when my stupidity causes problems for me, I usually accept that I had a part in that. For example, when I parked my car on the side of the street and someone smashed into it, it was my fault for parking it there.

I guess that level of self-responsiblity might be stretch...
