And thank you for receiving the honest assessment as constructively as you have. I'm cursed with the inability to mask my opinions well. Sometimes it rubs folks the wrong way.

Glad we could talk as well. Good luck with the book.

When I was mayor and saw a need to educate our youth on internet safety and the growing concern of child predators, I reached out to the DOJ, AG's Office, National Center for Missing and Exploited Children … and a whole host of other resources. As you know, the program was effective and has now been rolled out to about 1,200 cities accross America. However, the best part of the program is not the PD “sting operation” … it is not going into every 7th grade class … it is educating the parents … many of which do not think it would ever affect their family or their community. They need to get their heads out of the sand!

In an era that many older generations do not understand or comprehend the value and power of blogs and the Internet, I also hope that the book can be a tool to educate the parents / grandparents on its impact / strength / unintended consequences. These folks must have a comprehension …. or at least a starting point … in an effort to start the dialogue with their children and grandchildren.

Jason … again, thank you for the “honest” assessment.
