RE: Name and Address on Brad's Special URL? My name and address doesn't get populated? Is that something that was only entered (or kept?) for members who joined after a certain date? (I've been around for quite a while.) Is there somewhere I should go to enter/update my address? - Michael Coley - wwol.com

Reminds me of about a year ago (think the feature has been disabled)where someone would post a link and say "Look at what this idiot posted", of course if would take you back to your very own last link, and I(anyway) would try and figure out what was so idiotic.. :) Scott

A few days ago I posted the free t-shirt URL on another thread. Person "X" clicked on it and saw Person X's name and address appear. Person X then assumed everyone else who clicked on that link also saw Person X's name and address. Considering Person X uses an alias, said person was naturally miffed at me for "exposing" him. A couple of years ago, Time Magazine added a feature that personalized certain pages for subscribers. So it might say something like "Michael Tsao, your Senators, Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, voted yes on that issue." Time discontinued the feature when some subscribers (apparently dipped in the Dumb Pond at birth) wrote in, angrily demanding to know why they and only they had been chosen, without their permission, to be highlighted in all the millions of copies of the magazine.
