Every post I make to newsgroups is being maliciously tracked by a certain
individual. I then receive pornographic email at home. Is there a way to
conceal one's identity completely (headers) when posting to a newsgroup
using Outlook Express 6.0?

Yes, set up your newsgroup account with a fictitious name and email address.
If you want a truly throw-away address, that you can still check, if need
be, look at www.mailinator.com

No...

That's a...

COWARDLY way to act.

Use your REAL NAME...

DON'T HIDE behind a PSEUDONYM such as:

"Ildhund"

But use a throwaway or fictitious email address in order to protect yourself
from SPAM, VIRUSES, DEATH THREATS, WORMS, IDENTITY THIEVES, CHILD MOLESTERS,
et alii. I know from experience.

I don't trust ANYONE who won't use HIS or HER Real Name.

WOMEN may prefer to use only the FIRST name...

That's not desirable or preferable -- but entirely acceptable...

As there are malicious, molester loons out there.

How about hiding behind a pseudonym like Julia294, as some pogue
without cojones did in this thread:

http://groups.google.com/group/micro...c5d5fd4b04ad5f

You are exposed once again as a fraud and a hypocrite.

Women are not the only victims of "malicious, molester loons". In one of
the Spanish "alt." newsgroups that I subscribe to, one of the participants
once offered $3,000 for the physical identity, location and telephone number
of some guy from Valencia whose opinions were annoying him. He had a scheme
to pay the anonymous informer using PayPal and everything. Maybe it was a
joke, maybe not. If you want to conceal your real identity and avoid a
whole slew of problems, then do so. If it gives you a macho thrill to use
your real name, secure in the knowledge that you have plenty of buckshot in
your ammunition closet, then do that too.

But please don't stoop to calling people cowards. That is something worthy
of the Vista newsgroup. If you don't trust anyone who won't use his or her
real name, then you close yourself off from a large percentage of the most
useful information posted here.

Cheers,

Earle

The irony is that "David Spencer Hines" has posted under the fake
name "Julia294" (or vice versa?). If it's cowardly to do so, then
he/she's a coward him/herself.

But then, we knew that already.

Earle...is it becoming clear yet ?

I use my real name because I have nothing to hide, because most hostile
posters never carry their intentions beyond the keyboard and because
Colorado is a "make my day law" state. I have seen some people posting
though, who really shouldn't. These groups aren't so bad, but the Vista
group... It's understandable, given the subject matter, but 99.99% of posts
are a waste of time. Just try to get a question about Vista answered. Half
the people who answer have no idea, and the rest want you to join their
crusade. Sometimes, someone with a clue posts a response.

Check out the flame war in rec.autos.makers.jeep+willys and
alt.binaries.pictures.autos. "I'm going to send you a subpoena", "Where's
my subpoena, xxxxxxxxxx?", then one of the participants found some kind of
mail-bomb spammer software and all hell broke loose. He seemed like a
completely normal person at first too.

Don't even mention the spammers and Nigerian inheritance scams...

Sometimes I upload a video to YouTube, but I haven't become anyone's
"friend" yet, despite numerous offers.

Maynard has since figured out, that he can only turn the machine backwards,
and that this doesn't get him any more cat food than he's going to get if he
leaves it alone. Sometimes, cats are smarter than humans.

Twaddle...

Not the same thing at all as hiding behind a pseudonym on the Internet.

Ever read any of Samuel Clemens' works? You probably will
have better luck find his works listed under the author, "Mark Twain".

I post under a number of pseudonyms for a number of reasons (admittedly
some not so upstanding).

You bet...

Cowardly, Weaseling Reasons.

Errant Twaddle...

Another little PFK who doesn't want the college admissions officers and
employers to be able to trace him on the Internet.

People who hide behind pseudonyms on the Internet get ZERO respect.

ou don't need to know my "real" name; you only need to know if the persona
I am using is consistent; whether consistently good, consistently right,
