We are all in the monestary of the Internet, so speak softly:
The Order of Saint Isidore of Seville is an Internet-based organisation. The Order was formed on 1st January 2000 to celebrate the beginning of Christ's Third Millennium, to honour Saint Isidore of Seville and to promote the ideals of Christian chivalry through the medium of the Internet. In short, they pledge to use the Internet only for good and to encourage others to do so. It is perhaps best said in the prayer to Saint Isidore which is on its website. ---- Here is the latter portion of the prayer to Saint Isidore:
...grant we beseech Thee that, through the example of Saint Isidore, bishop and doctor, during our journeys through the Internet we will direct our hands and eyes only to that which is pleasing to Thee [no S&M!] and treat with charity and patience all those souls whom we encounter... [no snarking!] --------------- Excerpts taken from:

because St. Isidore helps those who give attribution to others.

What if the magnet in the base of my plastic St. Isidore icon wipes my hard drive?
I just discovered that St. Gabriel the Archangel is the patron saint of telecommunications, so you need to know something about the problem before you go praying to patron saints willy-nilly.
