Have you figured out yet how ridiculous you sounded when you asked
someone
else to publish his address and telephone number? It has nothing to
do with
being scared or hiding behind Usenet, it is prudent for any normal
sane
person not to publish his telephone number or address. Since you do
not fit
either category, I thought you just might publish yours. ; )

Quite the contrary. You see, anyone who I have asked to publish name,
address, etc. are ONLY the one's who need a little help realizing just
how idiotic they are acting. They are the one's who act like big, brave
men all the while hiding behind usenet. I'd never ask anyone for such,
unless they acted in that manner. Check and see. And, yes, it DOES have
something to do with "hiding behind usenet". If they weren't doing just
that, and I was face to face with them, I guarantee that most wouldn't
act like that in person.
