You obviously are totally ignorant of the recommendations for safe
Internet usage published by government organizations such as
www.ftc.gov. The U.S. FTC recommends against giving out personal
information anywhere on the Internet or on Usenet, and instead
suggests the use of handles or pseudonyms. It also suggests that
people go to some lengths to keep their names private even in such
formerly-public data bases such as domain name registrar "whois"
records. That's why major registrars now offer private registration.

You can live in your daddy's world, but the rest of us are all too
familiar with the spammers, identity thieves, stalkers, and scam
artists who now make unscrupulous use of Internet information.

Anyone who blindly publishes his or her personal information on the
net is more like a clueless victim looking for a place to be mugged.

Go ahead: Keep on being a stupid ****. But don't try to promote your
stupidity to the rest of us.

Fascinating post, Chris, If you think that anything that you can do is
giving you ANY protection while you are on the internet.........

Well, it is *fascinating* that you think that WE are stupid! 8^)

Safety on the internet means avoidance of it.
