    They think no one can find them:-) Its an illusion only for most all users have a traceable IP address and it can be traced by people in the know. Every packet you send is connected to your connection and your provider has a list that has your name attached to it when your on thats how you see what is posted:-) You IP is the same as Your address at your house and the net is the post office:-) Now the HS is given charge of the net:-)

    Same reason as climbing Mt. Everest - because it's there.

    Frankly, anything I've ever shared on line, I've shared in public.......

    Its sort of my personality.........That "here it is, like it or lump it"........ME!

    I don't fear any mistake I've ever done nor feelings about any one, any group, and race, gender, job, President......etc......

    What you see is what you get.......
