We are closing off the Private Diaries for
a poignant and surprising reason.
I wrote under duress of my sad feelings for
the serious illness of my father some months ago. None of my relatives in that part of the world read this particular
website.
Some incredible Malicious Troublemaker - I
wonder who! - made it his business to telephone an old and dying man, and tell him of the feelings expressed here for step-mother
problems.
The pain caused to my father, who otherwise would not not have known
about it, was merely an object of pleasure for the Malicious Troublemaker.

You know all about me.
I promise you your information will not be shared with sales-and-marketing
types.
We just want a 50-50 relationship, and
to know a bit about who and where you are!
The new security for the Private Diaries requires a home computer
address, ie. not free mail such as Hotmail or Yahoo.
This is a new feature, so please be patient.

In spite of the above blurb, we do want to make this accessible
to just about everyone eventually; we are only given so many usernames at first, so we need to have it expanded.
We want to do some polls for the 2008 China Olympics excitement.
