Something about radio call signs and a federal index site allowing people to cross refererence them to home addrs. (Seems the complainer needs to get off his federal radio roster).
I missed that! LP does attract the most unsavory federales. ;)
Google has implemented a new feature which enables you to type a telephone number into the search bar and hit enter and you will be given the person's name and address. If you then hit Map Quest, you will get a map to the person's house. Everyone should be aware of this! It's a nationwide reverse telephone book.
If a child gives out his/her phone number, someone can now look it up to find out where he/she lives. The safety issues are obvious, and alarming.
Note that you can have your phone number removed or blocked. I tried my number and it came up along with the map quest and directions straight to our house. I did fill out the removal form for myself, and encourage all of you to do the same. Quite scary.
Please look up your own number.
In order to test whether your phone number is mapped, go to: google (http://www.google.com/) Type your phone number in the search bar (i.e. 555-555-1212) and hit enter. If you want to B L O C K Google from divulging your private information, simply click on your telephone number and then click on the Removal Form. Removal takes 48-hours.
Check your own number and although this may not apply to you if you have an unlisted number or cell phone as primary contact, but you may know someone who needs to know this.

Several years ago there was too much info available online from certain states about birth records. A complaint was filed and CA pulled back info. In bygone days, it took a court order, several forms and several weeks to get this info. And that was assuming you knew where to start looking. Now you just type someone's name into a search engine hooked to the right databases.

I had done that before. Want something REALLY scary? On that map, click the satellite image. When I did that it pulled up an image in good enough detail to be able to see the stock tanks in our pastures! And I don't know if it's possible to "block" this out. You can scroll the satellite image and see all of your neighbors etc, and keep "following it down the road" to check out everything you want for as long as you've got time to keep looking...

I recently left three forums due to bad moderation. The hypocrisy was starting to overtop my chest waders.
I know what you mean.
I was banned from my local newspaper forum for, IMHO - being damned good at presenting my point.

Ive only become more talented at doing what they hate and I notice Im not along in this.
My goal is to deal as much misery as possible to sites that ban citizens for merely possessing a view contrary to the official "new speak".

but her bitching about it for years now is enough already.
A somewhat subtle part of the communications process is that -
as long as someone is complaining about something, they have hope of things improving. It's when they fall silent that you know someone has given up hope.
From what I've seen about these discussion boards is that we all tend to use them as a teething ring that does satisfy, to some degree, our need to struggle against our social problems.

BTW - doesn't Christine do a great job! Running a forum is a tough job, and the more diverse the views you want to have on your forum, the harder it is. You get more fights, mud slinging, and complaints, and when your resolve the complaints, invariable up to 50% of the parties involved are pissed at your decision, and that's if you do it right.
The more views you restrict from the forum, the easier it is. It's up to each owner to decide what they want/how much crap they want to put up with.
I've been on discussion boards for over a decade now and in that time I have never had to report anyone for abuse - not once.
In fact, I get a uncanny sense of pleasure out of having to deal with anyone who wishes to attempt to insult me.
I have had to bozo a few people, but it's because they seem to spout out only nonsense.
The thing that really steams me is when I can't find a worthy opponent to debate!

If you want a 'throw-away' phone number that doesn't cost a dime, just out this service http://www.privatephone.com/ .
You get your own local(in most cases) phone number that rings into your own voicemail box. You can even establish a number not in your area code, say you wanted to appear to be from Houston versus Toledo.
You can call into to retrieve you messages and/or you can be alerted and have the messages sent to your email. (need soundcard to hear messages from email)
Don't know how they are doing this for free although to do sell extended features like call forwarded, etc.
Actually- the Soviet Secret Police in Spain- the NKVD- spent more time repressing the anarchists than it did helping in the fight against Franco's forces.
Goldie banned me supposedly for announcing I was coming over here to post though I made no such announcement.
I can attest to that. I didn't even know you were here until yesterday and I was on that thread were you were banned. She said that's why, but when I looked to see where you were going, I could not find the post. I did find Comment pulled: blahblahblah and something about not promoting other sites....

Yes that was a link to here. There was a thread here asking if Twenty Twelve could be enticed over. My post there was simply asking if he could be enticed with a link here. I saw it as a courtesy ping. I've linked many web sites and other forums there before including my own, never was a problem. Yukon made a big deal out of that one post though and then I was banned. He is the one who called that post to Goldi's attention and more was made out it than there was. I had said I was taking a break, those posts are still there. I wanted to give Goldi a chance to read my email since she has asked me for time to do so. Instead of dealing with Byteshredder's threats she bans me for a bogus reason, says nothing to Byte and then bans others for supposedly making threats
At the time Goldi banned me for posting here I was also posting on 4 other forums all of which I had linked there at one time or another including Funky Frog which I had linked several times.

I wouldn't worry about any of it. Just know that some people think of the net as just the net and posters as just screen names. They will never understand that you are a real person until they meet you in "real life". That's something that I have learned recently. Most people are not the same in person as they are on the net. Unfortunately, I am the same on the net and some just don't get it. The net is their playground and I just don't want to play that game. That's why I use the screen name that I use. Because it is me. My real name (a portion thereof) and not some made up pseudonym.
My paternal grandparents eventually came around to liking at least a few Paul McCartney tunes.

The people will not follow me so long as they have oil, and even then I get oil same way as 99.9993% of Americans - I buy it. Where I live, once it gets to the oil lamp stage, that means the shotgun stage has come and gone.
