Only a jerk would make the comments you just made. First... I have stated many, many times that I am not a techie, and here you refer to my claiming to know so much about technology... talk about being dumb chic hearne looks like you've been taking dumb pills from the rabbit farm. You can go back to my "tuning the fiddle" post and many others where I openly admit limited tech knowledge. Now how stupid do you look for making such a remark? Richard, Sorry, there's no way I can read all the posts on this thread. There's just too many of them and most of them are from completely clueless people. From what I gather from the "jim and dick show", both of you imply you know what you're talking about. So no, I don't feel "stupid" for making a remark like that. Anyone that lurks on this thread and reads 25-50% of the posts could easily draw the same conclusion.Second... I have never tried to hide my identity here on SI ObviouslyIf you are ashamed of who you are and your family name then that's a problem you have to live with. I also think there are many others that use their given names that would take offense at your asinine comments. I'm not ashamed, I just don't think anonymous people over the Internet need to know who I am. So I don't use my real name. I even go beyond that. Only a serious hacker could get my real identity from my house. I even doubt that because I've taken major steps to block that. Richard, I'm not slamming you. I'm just saying that if you use your real name over the Internet and post links to sites that are yours, you shouldn't complain about people figuring out who you are. So, you are stupid for being mad about it, or you shouldn't care because you never took steps to hide yourself. chic
