... There are other ways to prevent spam, and being anonymous costs you credibility. Giving a name or being anonymous does not prove or disprove credibility. Only the content of the post can prove that. It is virtually impossible to prove your identity on the internet. Even the FBI can't know for certain who is using a computer until they bust down the door and see with their own eyes who is at the keyboard. People have been unjustly arrested for acts committed by those who assumed their identity. I use the handle "me" to make a statement about anonymity and the impossibility of proving ones identity on the internet. Anonymous *and* able to prove my credibility, me |

-- Mike Shelley N581 -- AA5A -- ASD grumman581(AT)charter(DOT)net "me" wrote in message ... "uwphotographer" wrote in message ups.com... me wrote: "uwphotographer" wrote in message oups.com... In your OP your handle was "Mark" now you change it to " and later to "uwphotographer". You can't hide like that. ..and didn't try to. Then why did you change your handle three times? this question coming from someone who posts as "me" and doesn't sign their posts? I did, I signed "me", my handle. Why didn't you sign this post? It's easy to be critical when you are totally anonymous. Anonimity isn't required for criticality but it does prevent spam. Why don't you sign your next post See above. and give a place where you can be contacted. Contact me right here. And why are you still munging all other NG names except this one? I had to fix this again. Signed, me |

Anonimity isn't required for criticality but it does prevent spam. Spam can be prevented in other ways... You can obfuscate your email address so that the automatic spam harvesters will pick up an invalid address... Personally, I change my email address every month and the obfuscation makes it rather apparent what is necessary to get a valid address for each month... Handles / monikers are acceptable as long as people know who you are anyway... The cowardly anonymous remailer domains get killfiled by many of us... If someone doesn't have the balls to put a valid (although possibly obfuscated) email address and name associated with their posts, they're not worth listening to... |

Since its cross posted 9 out of 10 people would say yes. In my book its another pointless post from another nameless nobody. I hope it made you feel better. -- LOL. |

My balls are plenty big and certainly there; One question how does having them make it easier to listen? -- Is this a feeble attempt at a troll?

Although I might agree with some of they things that you have to say, if you're going to hide behind being anonymous, I'm forced to killfile you... Of course, before killfiling you, there is a certain protocol that must be enforced... bitch-slap plonk |

You owe it to yourself to go read the fine print before making a public comment on the merits of any Photo Contest announcement. I challenged the OP to prove me wrong. He did not. Incorrect: the citation for the rules was provided in his original post before you even asked for it, via a URL. You simply chose to not click on his URL citation to go read the fine print. Your fault, not his. To now whine about how he won't repeat himself is *lame* sour grapes. If you were trying to make your criticisms appear credible, this not how to score points. -hh |
