| I cannot participate in these type of threads. I have Webtv...no cutting and pasting or patience to write it all down. This one is way to personal to put on the web, unless I lied. Anyone else have issues with these type of questions? |
|
| I guess I don't see how it was too personal, myself...other than parents first names, very little was revealed to strangers on the iternet....unless they want to kidnap my cat...(take my cat, PLEASE!!!) |

| I guess I am too highly sensitive to asking for fathers name, mothers name, siblings, time to rise, because I was once stalked. It could be easy to put together? No? |
|
| I understand your apprehenshion,in that manner, Walksalone....I've seen others go thru it and it's a very upsetting situation, for sure..anyone around here that ever has that problem on the internet, feel free to drop me an email, it can be stopped much faster than you think |

| I experienced it outside of the internet. Yes, It can be stopped, I will leave it there. I just want to be careful of the trail left here. Another site I visit records the number of responses, and VIEWS. A string will get ten answers but one thousand views. We feel we are talking only to each other, but NOT! |
|
| true, they can get thousands of views, but in a newsgroup situation it's a matter of picking and choosing what you reply to. I've done a name search on google before for tinmantu and most of the stuff that turns up are posts, here on garden web...I feel comfortable knowing that as long as I don't post my credit card number on here, I feel safe. |

| I really am enjoying these quotes. I don't know if I have an all time favorite, but the one that most often comes to mind is from the Rubaiyat: "A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and thou beside me, singing in the wilderness. Ah wilderness would be Paradise enough!" For another angle on this quote, see the link below. It is one of my favorite Web sites. |
