Think before you blog.
If there is one clear message from the saga of the online posting of photographs of Hong Kong policewomen clowning around, that is it.
While it is the correct response for a disciplined service, such as the police, to launch an internal investigation into the behaviour of its officers caught posing - in uniform - with weapons and fooling about in various stages of undress, it is hard to see the case as a major scandal.
Too often headlines are dominated by tales of poor morale in the police force and other disciplined services. By comparison, at least these high-spirited young ladies were displaying considerable esprit de corps as they let off steam from a stressful job.
We hope that once investigations are complete, their bosses simply don't throw the book at them, whatever the pressure of publicity.
Certainly firearms safety will need to be emphasised, along with the need to present the force in the best possible public light.
