People will eventually learn that anything you say on the internet is forever, and your employer, friends, significant others, family, clergy, et al can see it and use it against you.

Those who don't will be weeded out by the 'Net's version of the "Darwin Effect"; the permanence of anything posted on the 'Net will consign them to a life of constantly dragging their follies behind them. When I was in elementary and high school, we were always warned of and threatened by the dreaded "Permanent Record" ('anything wrong you do will follow you through life on your permanent record...'). We all learned that the "Permanent Record" was essentially a myth. However, now, the Internet is fast becoming "Permanent Record" we feared; whatever we post does follow one around and is seemingly permanent. Add to this the growing tendency of employers, schools, etc. obtaining data about us from Net postings, either by ourselves or posting about us by others, and the scale of the effect of 'bad' postings is worrisome. Anyone who has sought employment recently knows that employers are less likely to interview you to find out about who you are in favor of the quicker (and cheaper) method of doing an Internet search of your name, sites, postings, etc. What one thought was a meaningless, minor post can block one from a job, school, or anything else; and once done, it cannot, sometimes, be undone.
