No more do-overs

I just noticed this by Stephen Green at Vodkapundit where he discusses the fact that everything we write can now be found on the web. A lot of folks find that disconcerting.

I remember the first time I took a deposition as a new lawyer. Knowing that the court reporter was sitting right across the conference table recording every sound that came from my mouth was really mind blowing. Having read depos replete with "uh, umm, you know" etc., I was so conscious of every word for a while. Eventually, we all get over it, but it can really have an impact.
