They were from the same person, but I think he forgot to turn off the caller ID function. I called back, and the voice is the same. I wonder why they recommend you not use your personal name in UseNet? I don't think using the name is necessarily it. There is a NG where nearly everyone posts under their own name, and many have been doing it for more than a decade. Nothing bad has ever happened. The place has banned religion, politics, crossposting and acronyms. Casady |

Casady Richard you are correct, but this is what the experts agree is prudent concerning cyberstalking, Internet Safety and to protect you from ID theft: http://www.sfwa.org/gateway/stalking.htm Note: Be VERY careful to whom you give personal information and where you post information. Use a "nonsense" password that has no relation to you as a person; use a combination of numbers, symbols, and letters and make sure it is at least 6 characters long. Change your password frequently and NEVER give it out. Try not to keep it written down. Avoid using the same password for multiple accounts. If you are a woman, you may want to avoid usernames that are obviously female anytime you are on the Net, depending on the net.community you are participating in. (Your first initial and last name combine to make a good, easy to remember, and gender-neutral user name.) This includes e-mail, IRC channels or chat rooms, bulletin boards, etc. Learn what kind of anti-abuse procedures are in place in the community. IRC channels usually have two or more "ops" (operators) around, who have the power and authority to ban abusive users from the channel. If there is no op on a channel, contact the IRCops of your IRC server; these names are given when you first sign onto the server. Visit http://www.irchelp.org to learn more. |

I've known that for 25 years. Like I said before Compuserve *required* sysops to remove any personal info. That was to protect the morons posting it from themselves. And, back then it wasn't *nearly* as easy as it is today, to do much with that info. --Mike |

Try to get moto-cross, golf, camping trips,old ****ty import trucks, beer making,Grandkid pictures, and ALL the other OFF-TOPIC bull**** " banned ". It'll NEVER happen here...... If you did make it happen, there'd only be about three people left posting here...but the content would be BOATS, not off topic garbage. |

Yabut, we know which of the OT posts are most apt to cause the bickering, name-calling, and insulting to commence. Of course, slammer would possibly offend other posters if he'd included 'politics' as one of his categories. His other topics seem to inflame only two people, one of whom is slammer. |
