A PhD candidate working in the Sociable Media Group at the MIT Media Lab named Fernanda Viégas has done a survey of bloggers' expectations of privacy and liability.
Right there, we've exceeded the intellectual capacity of this blog.
However, I took brain in hand and boldly read it.
Surprisingly, I find I would place myself in the same majority as most surveyed did. I would term the things I write "personal ramblings" as would 83% of those surveyed. The majority of participants came from California. Or England. Since I channel Edmund Blackadder frequently, I feel doubly represented.

wow... who knew? I channel S. O. Baldrick nearly every night...

"Oh, just a wild stab in the dark... which, incidentally, is what you'll get if you don't start being a bit more helpful"...
..or something like that...
