people do not understand that they can be found out, the same with telephone call centres. these people think that they can do and say what they like but people can be found, even on the end of a telephone or mobile phone.

In the UK, reverse telephone books are illegal so you have some protection but businesses are a different matter, it is possible to find an address of a company from its telephone number and in call centres the location of the call cantre despite the organisations office address, Something I have done myself, truned up on an organisations doorstep, something they cannot cope with is face to face.

Still its a good lesson in security, personal as well as internet, something that the ISP's cant "Firewall" you from, Baseball bats and machetes.

I dunno... people blame crap like this on "violence and violent/graphic programs on television" but the last time I watched television, sit-coms were at at all-time ad~nauseum high and re-run programs like "Seinfeld", "Everybody Loves Raymond" and "FRIENDS" were on like 5 times a night and upon several competitor channels across our cable network... and yet I don't see comedy breaking-out on the streets anywhere.. :cool:

I'm rather fond of a quote from Grouch Marx. I find television very educational. Whenever somebody turns on the set I go read a book.
