Tomato, this email and post tampering is indeed a most serious matter which concerns everybody on S.I. Please provide at least one specific example of what you are talking about and maybe we can discover who this hacker is. Why would anybody go to the trouble to fool around with your email? Give us an example of where this person has been "weaving" the contents of your emails in to their posts. You don't even list an email. I think you are making the whole thing up to try an discredit me. Let's see how you pull this one off. GOLDIGER - Member of Z.A.P.

TOTALLY OFF TOPIC Tomato and to nobody else in particular, This might well be my last post on this thread... (and of that, some people will be very glad... but that's fine... I could really care less). However, it probably won't be my last on SI because some time ago, I volunteered to maintain the Market Activity reports on the Kerm's Korner oil information thread... and I'm not one to shirk responsibility. I won't offer an explanation for this letter... but instead, I will offer a few bits of wisdom that I picked up along the way between then and now.... First... and this is for ANYONE who has listed a real email address on your SI profile. Listen to Tomato. Take it down pronto, or get an anonymous box with one of the servers like Hotmail, Rocketmail, or Geocities... I wish someone had told me that a long while ago.... Recently, I have been told this by others on SI as well. Almost everyone was sorry that they didn't take that advice... and that they didn't start out posting under an alias right from the start... Second, ... all of us on SI are the same size... No matter how we choose to spell our names... most of us are only about 1/4 of an inch high and maybe about an inch or so long... Some people think they look bigger ... but it's really just an illusion that some people haven't figured out yet... Third, SI is just a place to come for awhile each day. It isn't a home... Some people seem to forget this small truth...and start to think that what happens here is important... Well... the truth is... that's a big lie... SI has literally thousands of threads now... and believe it or not... this is one of the smaller, less posted threads... Some threads have more posts in 15 minutes than this one gets in a day... Just thought I'd put life back in perspective for those who have lost sight of reality. And last, I used to live in a city where there was a large petshop in a shopping mall. Most Saturdays, I would drop by to take a look at the critters. There was this big noisy parrot there... that used to shriek and dance around on its perch and annoy everyone by demanding that they answer its dumb questions. One of the nicest things about going to the shop was being able to turn your back and walk out of the door and leave the stupid twit shrieking away to itself... That's one of the things that I like most about SI... You don't have to listen to or answer the shrieking demands of parrots if you don't want to... One click and they're history.... Most of you will understand this... and for those who don't... well.... P.S. Some on this thread will flame me for this post... well... go ahead... now you know what I think of you... You are 1/4 of an inch high and about an inch long and you disappear when I click on by... Good Night and Goodbye Thread... Adios.... Croc
