Reginald P. Smithers obviously does not want to change the tone of this NG
and continues with his nasty ways. Surprised?

You have to remember Waylons' reason for posting here.
It's not to exchange boating information or to learn anything nautical...he
just likes the sport of trying to twist people up on their own comments.

BILL WOULD REQUIRE NAMES, ADDRESSES
By John Cheves


A bill filed in the House would keep Kentuckians from posting anonymous
comments to Web sites.

House Bill 775, filed Tuesday by Rep. Tim Couch, R-Hyden, would require
anyone who contributes to a Web site to register a real name, address
and e-mail address with that Web site. The person's full name then
would
be used whenever he or she posted a comment.

Web site operators who violate the disclosure law would be fined $500
for a first offense and $1,000 for each subsequent offense.

Couch readily acknowledged on Wednesday that his bill raises First
Amendment issues regarding free speech, so he won't be pushing it. But
he wanted to call attention to the phenomenon of unkind and often
untrue
comments about people being posted online by Kentuckians hiding behind
the cloak of anonymity.

"Some nasty things have been said about high school kids in my
district,
usually by other kids," Couch said. "The adults get in on it, too."

"When you're anonymous, you can say anything you want to about someone,
and nobody knows who you are," he said.

Couch said he, too, has been the subject of anonymous online roasting,
and while he doesn't enjoy it, he doesn't think there's much the
legislature can do about it.

"I think right now (online posting) is pretty much just on its own.
It's
a machine that's going to go its own way," Couch said. "The state can
try to pass some rules, but I don't really think it would do anything."

Not quite my idea for shedding the cloak of anonymity, but it's a
start.
I'd love to see usenet require posters to post with their full, real
name and real ISP.

Could get costly. As a web hosting provider I would be looking for a
software package that would block all ip's from that state to any
access to my systems, just like Indonesia and China. It is a political
ploy anyway, someone looking for votes.


Well, I think getting rid of usenet anonymity is a great idea.

mypacks is an Earthlink tool advertised for anonymity, bozo.

Anybody remember anon.penet.fi?

I don't know about his photo, and regardless of I happen to agree with
his posting content, or not... I've seen his writing here. very
cleay, somewhat humoorus, and unlike me, verypunctual. I would say he
probably is a good journalist.

He used to be a little more clever, and even sarcastic and humorous
back when I was... TBYR it seems to me;)

Harry,
Beside you telling us your name is Harry Krause, you are just as
anonymous as "Reggie". *No one really knows which Harry Krause you are,
there are many in the US and what your home address and phone number is..
* We really don't know for certain if your name really is Harry Krause,
or it is just a UseNet persona. *If everyone had to submit to a
background check, and all of the information was in the public domain,
what would you do differently when communicating with someone in UseNet?- Hide quoted text -

I know who he is, and could call him right now or send him a letter,
directly to his house... Just for the record...

That's correct. There are quite a few people here with whom I have
exchanged "real" information.- Hide quoted text -

None of them have seemed to have seen evidence of your 36 foot
Zimmerman like lobster boat, though.

Years ago Harry sent me pictures of a very nice lobster boat.
Was it his..yours.. or Blurts boat..?? I couldn't verify it enough to suit
this group.
