I will appreciate if you to act very fast to this mail or else I will be forced to carry out my work. I have all your informations with me now,as am talking to you. If you feel contacting a securty firm or the police will make you safe,I want to also let you know that it will not stop me,it will rather make me to carry out my operations very fast,so stay cool and contact me for negotiations.Note that I sent this email after keeping an eye on You for over ten days,so you can see what I ment by telling you that a security firm can't save you.Just wating to hear from you,so I know if I can change my mind under the grounds of negotiation, and I think,after negotiation I will be ready to inform you about who sent me.

There are ways to hide an IP or go through a server that provides another number, of course, but I don't bother. What for? I'm not posting here anonymously. Why are you posting through two news servers? Nothing nefarious, but I feel no compunction to explain it to the likes of you. So...I do because I can. And so can anyone else. |

Even if its available, how does the average Joe Blow ID someone by their IP. That even assumes they do not go through an anonymizer? I believe without the cooperation of the senders ISP there is no way you can ID any Usenet participant. So, anonymity reigns. |

Harry, You don't post here anonymously because the time you tried you got caught. It was funny to watch you have a conversation with yourself about someone who saw you on the bay in your Lobster Boat, until someone noticed that both you and your sock puppet had the same IP address. I on the other hand have always been me, and I have never tried to fool anyone otherwise. I have a static IP so it is easy to verify who I am. |
