There is only one option… you must merge with your evil twin, Kirk, and become one, whole person again. “I wanna LIVE!!! I wanna LIIIIVE!!!” ---

just in case this was an actual question (I’m still waiting to be notified…) If you are sharing a computer with some one else, make sure you ‘log out’ after your session. that way, they cannot access the boards and post under your user name. (go back to the main page of the message board - for example, at the top of each page, there’s the ‘Straight Dope Message Board’ logo, click on it, it takes you to the main page of the message board, and in the bottom right hand corner you’ll see ‘log out’. click there. You’ll need your user name and password to log back in again of course.) ---

Alternatively, you could simply hide the keyboard when you’re finished with it. ---

Or do what the rest of us do and NEVER LEAVE YOUR COMPUTER. Become one with the SDMB - why would you leave it anyway? pan ---
