>Thanks for replying so fast!!

I just happened to check the board here, I don't usually unless a hot thread is going on.

>before the 27th?

Yeah, I think it was. I can't imagine that Rosie wouldn't want to give it to you, so email me and I'll send it to you. ourdubya@yahoo.com. (get it? rw? har har) Just so the spammer doesn't email me pretending to be you, I'll make sure the IP on the email matches your postings.

>Also, how are you?

Doing great! The wife and I will be trying the IVF procedure again next week. Third time's a charm. I think they might be implanting 3-4 embryos this time.

Yeah... Queer's got some legitimate reasons for holding a grudge against ST. ST doesn't seem to understand that his past actions do affect how people perceive every action and every word that he posts. I visited the DB once and like you said it was kinda dead. I can't believe that ST has a history of this kind of thing. Shutting down a messageboard is lame enough, but trying to get someone fired is just beyond the pale. It's a good reason for hiding IP addresses and not posting using your real name.

Yeah, I'm not up on that. I've only known one Laura Gay. I guess she was nice to ST until she got fed up with him. I was the same way.

It truly is dangerous using the internet when folks will go out of their way to do harm to you in your real life. I really don't have much to lose, myself. I don't post from work and there's really no one a blabber can blab to, except my wife.

ST sees his posting with his real name as a mark of honor, so he can always throw that at people who post using a pseudonym when he's got nothing better to throw. I think he probably understands that there is a safety issue involved here, but he won't admit that else he won't be able to crow about using his real name anymore.

>Heck, I don't know why I even use my FIRST name.
>Anyone could probably put together exactly who I am
>without any sweat.

Well, you're probably safe except for people who might know you in real life who might stumble over your internet messageboard postings. Another good reason to hide IPs!
