Almost everyone, no matter how they want to be steeped in anonymity, leaves clues about themselves eventually, even dreaded guests. This is beyond the basic information about most of us available to Joe and Jeff and Max.

gargoyle decided too late to be just a name, and thus was relatively easy to locate. Knowing his name and location was a bit of an insurance policy, just in case he went beyond some of the low level harassing he used to do. Even though it has been possible for several years to call him on the phone or drive to his front door, no one has done this. He knows, however, that it is possible, and he has been relatively --I use the word 'relatively' intentionally-- well behaved.

Dreaded guest and a couple of others ought to realize that it only takes a few clues to ascertain true identities, if necessary.

Perhaps 'guests' in the Austin, Texas area might want to think harder about how they use this nice, friendly forum. My next post might include more than a general geographic area.
