I was incredibly humbled and inspired by Doyle’s recent comment regarding my declaration of setting digital boundaries:

space: public v. private

21Nov08

How do you define [your] space – public v. private,  physical v. virtual? This is something that I’m continually pondering as I reassess my involvement in various physical and virtual communities.
