Ditto your final paragraph Bruce. Twice during the spring I had a young
lady experience a young man masturbating on the Cornell reflector site.
We traced him once to a provider out in Virginia but he dropped off
before we could get to tech service department.

It would have been disastorous if I had been demonstrating CUSeeMe to a
group of administrators or adults. We don't use reflectors sites
anymore. One incident with adults could end our general access.
Administrators are paranoid enough...at least here. We use direct
connects only...it's safer.
