The love two people share is a private matter. My innermost thoughts, hopes, fears, and ambitions, I only share those with those closest to me. Not for the world.

And legal professionals, more than most, should be attuned to online privacy concerns due to their sensitivity to attorney client privilege. Which is why, as someone who runs an online legal practice management company , I seethe, stew, and simmer when I see egregious violations of someone's online privacy.
