So then the same story shows up on Yahoo, and I get to bat it down with Gary's facts. The bigger issue to me is the out right lie, and its ease of use in this type of forum. I am seeing worse offenses on Yahoo. We have had two false name posts. A minor underline added or a "O" changed to a "0". The normal reader does not even see that, and if it is a trusted poster, the effects are panic. One poster last night on Yahoo filled a page with four letter words principally F??? Y?? in response to a short, as I recall. But the issue is the internet is an unregulated forum. I don't advocate government involvement, but the bullys are have a free run on the internet, and someone is going to get hurt if the society does not wake up to the effects of this type of communications. A little off topic, but it started with an ASND thread. Dennis
