Hmm. I found how to do that. Is there any way to make
'private' the default option when posting?

I beg to differ. When you quote someone that they can verify
was on duty on the time and date that you say they spoke to you, that
usually takes the cake.
I've had an issue with one of the Telcos that has been going
on for the last year. I've been keeping names, phone numbers, and
what they said. When they completely fouled up and I read it back to
them, they had to admit they were at fault and have taken steps to
compensate me for the damage done.
When I worked for a fiber NOC, one of our customers said I had
made certain promises. The problem was, I wasn't on duty the day he
claimed he spoke to me. So my superiors didn't buy it for a minute.

I skimmed the LiveJournal site. The data appears to be kept
on their site, rather than mine. Maybe I misread. I don't want my
data floating on some site I don't have admin access to.
Thanks,
