7. Email addresses obtained from inquiries and comments that I receive are kept long enough to reply to the inquiries or comments; then they are discarded. Exceptions to this process are those email addresses that belong to new friends I meet; those addresses are maintained in my personal contacts list.

8. Email addresses posted on this web site (see item 6 above) are placed in a special JavaScript to prevent web spiders from harvesting the email addresses for SPAM lists. Currently, guest book entries are not protected using this method.
