Susan Slaine: you mean some people don't wan't others to know their 'real' names? hmmmm must be something for them to hide Surely you jest? Given some of the mental cases that populate the internet, there is nothing wrong with wanting to remain anonymous...nothing! Regards, LG

LOL! Can't you imagine the reception Bill Clinton would get if some knew his SI alias!! You should see some of the threats I have received from some when I figured out their real names, addresses, and phone numbers from public records! As for Bill Clinton, yes he has something to hide!

>must be something for them to hide Susan, The issue isn't "something to hide". The issue is PRIVACY. SI violated all sense of one's privacy by posting login names. I'm sure you must appreciate the distinction between privacy and having "something to hide". For example, I presume you wear clothes. Right? Do you have "something to hide"? Or do you wear clothes in order to have a sense of privacy? Think about it. Violation of people's privacy, as SI had done, is a serious matter. And privacy is NOT the same thing as having "something to hide". Ice
