[QUOTE=Ace309] _coughhideyouremailaddresscough_ [/QUOTE] Yes I was aware of that lapse and it was next on my list. It took me a while to find the right switches to do it, but I think I should be good now. I should point out, I wasn’t terribly concerned. With enough effort, I have no doubt nefarious people could find all sorts of crazy things about me. This is just a small security hole that has been bugging me for a while, and it seemed the sooner I nipped it in the butt the better. As far as I know, nobody has ever missused the information I post here, and I certainly have not incriminated myself. I think I will have this thread closed so that it doesn’t continue and maybe somebody thinks of it as a challenge. ---
