anonymous posters

If you've spent much time on this board you'll know why.

To many chances of being hacked, info being sold to ??? Don't trust anyone especially the government.

My real name is N/A. You got a problem with that? Send me a private message.

Why do many of you not tell your name in your profile? Are you afraid of something? Some of you make some very bold statements from behind your mask of anonymity.

Moderators, if this post is not appropriate, feel free to delete it.

Sounds like you are one of those people that are trying to steal my identity. Your post is exactly how you people get innocent unsuspecting people to give strangers personal info. You start with something simple...then get into it deeper and deeper. Then you rob us blind. We're on to you.

Jim, do you really want anyone anywhere that has an interest in knowing where you live to be able to find out easily? Combine that knowledge with knowing when you're away traveling from your posts...

Oh, and if I were a bit more religious, I might be asking about the origin of your street's name. :W

Because its not too smart of a thing to do. Heck, I don't even do Facebook or any of the social media. I like to be " anonymous".

I have read posts from forum members who use their real names and cities or towns. You know what? I have actually done a people search on them and found their address! And in addition, after reading some of their posts I know when they are away from home, too!

So that's why....

I use my name, always have, ever since starting with the computer stuff. Never been robbed, assaulted, accused or any of the other so-called reasons for people to use something other than their real name. Which then leads one to observe how brave some are, hiding behind their assumed persona.

I also post when I am leaving, where I am going, how long I'll be on the road and where I am. Finding me is a snap. All my stuff here and on YouTube is identified.

I do not walk, drive, live, camp in fear. So far, no one has ever come up to me and given me a reason to act otherwise. I don't carry a gun. Used to have a bad cat, now have a ball obsessed dog. I pick up hitch-hikers...why don't I ever see the blonde in a bikini?...oh yes..and grab wifi from 'places'. So far, haven't been charged with theft of anything. Never been run out of a spot for boondocking, either.

And my street is named after a bird. A Plover.

Of course there are some ham radio operators who use their call sign, with a Google search you can find their addy and a map of their house

Do you think the Rv missing from your driveway or yard is a hint you're out camping.

BTW why do we park in driveways and drive on parkways???? Only in America. lol
