FYI: comments made here may be elsewhere
I just did an ego search at Google. I started out looking for a
particular designer, then thought, what the heck. Anyway, I found out that there are a couple places gathering posts made here on some topics: Stay at Home Moms, Education, Health Care Careers, to name three. I don't take back anything I said, but you all might want to remember this should you post in the future. It's not just being archived at Google, it's being used as fodder for other interested parties. :-) Dianne |

Just wondering. Posts are being re-used - on sites compiling information on topics of interest. They strip the e-mail addresses of the posters. If anyone has posted on, i.e. Stay at Home Moms: do an ego search on your name and you'll see where it's going. Here's an example: http://www.teaching-info.com/teachin...msg29562.shtml |

In eight pages I've found references to: dirty stories about Darla on alt-sex something or other; Buffy and Angel; some soap opera; and some kind of music or sound related hardware. I do know that my Lorri Birmingham "Cup of Tea" corrections / discrepanies list showed up completely uncredited on the 1-2-3 Message boards a few weeks back. But I'll be durned iffen I'm going to spend the afternoon chasing down more references to "Darla" among Usenet newsgroups. Darla Sacred cows make great hamburgers. |

o an ego search on
your name and you'll see where it's going. I did that once, vain creature that I am. Found a lot of stuff on the sci-fi fan fiction I used to write -- but I didn't re-visit. Katrina L. |

Just wondering. Posts are being re-used - on sites compiling information on topics of interest. They strip the e-mail addresses of the posters. *snip* I have unsubscribed to at least 4 groups in the last week. Nothing was on topic, and when it was, the detractors were so invasive it was unreasonable. So, I may stay around here, but it's not feeling safe any more. Well, don't just give in. You have your address munged - that's worth something. We had a bizarre incident, in which a man that both DH & I know was using my maiden name, and former e-mail address to post (as his cover) to some Usenet groups. DH found it doing the google check on ourselves one day - checking groups and there were all these postings. The funny part - I was away at a conference, and not hooked up electronically, at all. Some of the stuff was just strange, some a bit vile - and all were to groups I would never have anything to do with (Disney, the Beatles, the Monkees, Baltimore & MD gov't discussions - amongst others). The most bizarre were discussions about somebody being gay, or very opinionated arguments about stuff even stupider than RCTN's infamous "banned from the garden" war. With a little effort we were able to track down the guy's actual ISP, and complained to them thru their abuse channel. Since he was masquerading as me, using my full maiden name - it also brought up an Identity Theft issue - a criminal act in Virginia (the feds don't care to much about little ones). We'd figured out that this guy, who was for quite a while a hockey ref (albeit not a very good one), but had been in some trouble for poor performance had finally snapped. He's a quirky, odd, guy - I'm sure older than DH & I, can be very opinionated, and on the ice call everything, or nothing. Not actually a very good skater (we have high standards, believe it or not). Anyhow, this guy - after having had some incidents reported is back in good graces - sort of - and skates a Tier I game with DH. The guy is doing a terrible job, I think it's kids like 13 yr olds. DH ends up calling a hit from behind - which is right by the guy, but he's ignoring it (kid spends 5 min down on ice, is injured, carried off but no ambulance) - assessing a game misconduct. This guy tells DH not to call in front of him or some such. Then as the game progresses and he's got his back to play, etc - DH tells him at a hand-off to just do his job. Evidently at some hand-off DH slams puck into his hand - the guy stomps off the ice - mid-game. When he shows back up (DH is soloing for several minutes) he tells DH that he was going to 1 - Call the cops and claim assault & 2 - thought his hand was broken and showed it to some observing parents. Result of this stupidity - they both got disciplined - though DH's was only because the other fool was being disciplined more severely - as in suspended totally for a month (DH just from some specific games til he got an evaluation again). Net result -for this nutcase - this was the proverbial straw, and he was ultimately asked to resign from officiating - which he did. We all felt a little sorry for him - thinking that his wife had thrown him out in September - this incident happened in mid-December - and he's a temperamental guy. So, now, the web-stuff - well, literally the day after the incident on the ice - these articles start. I never use my full name on the net. And, the address used was my old address from nearly a year prior. But, anyone who had the roster of officials (not available to the general public, but to registered officials in the local association only) could have gotten my full name, etc. It's very strange. Not that it was threatening to me, but here this fool is presenting himself as me, writing these vile and stupid things - and somebody could look up on the net and see them, and think it was me - having some schizoid fit. It cleared up for a while, after complaining to his use-net, newsgroup provider - but we have to check again. Having all these lawyer friends, everyone is happy to pull something together and take it to the local DA, police. Amazing. But, as you can see - I haven't quite given up Usenet. Almost - but not quite. ellice |

With regards to the site Diane referenced, well, at least they aren't charging. After all, everything we post is in the public domain, and we should be conscious of that. snip Actually this is a myth. http://www.templetons.com/brad/copymyths.html Anyone who has had what they've posted to Usenet used without their permission has the right to request it be removed immediately. -- Jeri |
