What utter CRAP!  Talking to strangers in person might be bad, but
that's because the occasional depraved stranger (what - 1 in 10000 or
so?) will use physical force to do something unpleasant.  Are you so
afraid that your ideas make no sense, and that your kids have no
reason to trust you, that you need to control who gives them tiny
snippets of information?

Sorry to be inflammatory, but I'm pretty disgusted at the degree to
which our society has learned to fear any non-controlled source of
information.  Teach your kids well, let them know that they can ask
you questions, and then give them some credit.

ps. I like Audis ;)
