I sure hope you didn't see anything like that! I'm not logging
accesses and only require a password for posting to retain some sort
of control over misuse and amount of bandwidth usage.

My site is, obviously, not commercial.



I've love to see a site on receational boating where all posters had to
include their real name and ISP somewhere in the headers of their post.
I don't know what the problem is...even Karl Derringer, who is as far
out there as anyone, is not afraid to use his real name. It's not a
security issue...if it were, Karl, who knows about such things, would
hide behind the skirts of a made-up name.

The only real reason for these handles is so the assholes who use them
can "get away" with saying things they'd not have the balls to say if
they were using their real names.

Agreed.

Real men do not hide their identities on USENET. Mostly right-wing
pussies do, though.

Perhaps I need to out a few more.

Maybe you could out them all? :)

All the best,

Tom

Sorry Harry. Obviously Eisboch is not my real name, but I've been
Eisboch since I first got on line at 1200 baud on a Prodigy account.
I used to post my real name in the reply to email address but got sick
of all the spam it generated.

So, real man or not, Eisboch it is, and Eisboch it shall stay.

Eisboch (who?)

LOL!!!

Over the years, since before the Great Renaming, I have had (and I
just counted) 316 different "nicks" running the spectrum from the
ridiculous to the sublime.

Once a friend made up a stats program to see who was posting how much
on one newsgroup I was a regular on and just to screw him up, I made
up a new name every single post.

That was a fun day.

TTFN,

Tom
