Ok, here's my .02 in all this. First off, having knowledge and using it are two different things (I know guys who can recite a repair manual, and knows all the parts by name but couldn't change oil to save their lives). Second, which strays from the subject a little, is WHY THE HECK ARE YOU PUTTING NAMES AND NUMBERS ONLINE!!!!! I can see why Salmo G may not want to give out his/her name and number/address. You have to realize one thing here. This is the internet accessible to millions/billions of people. Out of those millions, there are a ton of crazies (and crazy people from PETA). You give out info like that so willfully and you could be asking for trouble. I've been stalked a few times from people online (some from posts, some from other places online) and it's not a fun thing at all. I'll give my first name and email (which I will admit is WAY to much info) but am somewhat trusting even after what I've dealt with. I'm pretty good at reading people, but with the whole one dimensional thing with computers it's hard to read everyone. I'm sorry to stray from subject, but I feel it ties in a bit. I'll give my number and full name to some, but not all. Just think, all it takes is some right wing psycho PETA group to be watching this web page and write down all your info that you've so willingly given. Come out one morning and have your boats/cars demolished. I guess I'm a bit harsh, but being one who's been on the other side of this makes me a bit more sympathetic why salmo may be keeping quiet. It may be because he's working for the state, but maybe because he's had to deal with someone who won't leave him alone. It's easier to keep yourself hidden, then have to change numbers, and possibly your home.

Just my thoughts....
