I’ve seen some boneheaded posts lately that harkens back to the old days on eroids. Perhaps it’s time to go over again what should be common sense.

KMC and I used to try and guess where and who people were based on the seemingly harmless posts peppered throughout the site. All together they would paint a picture. How old you are, city or state of where you live, car you drove, marital status, number and sex of kids, school you went to, military service, what ball teams you support, where you were born, etc, etc…

If you think it’s a joke I’ll give you an example(facts have been changed). Over the period of 6 months a user with the handle BFG posted that he was in the midwest, supported the Twins, was 45 years old, and referenced a high school in Canada. He was married with 2 kids and a dog and drove a GMC.

I subtracted 18 from his age to figure out his high school graduating year. I looked up the yearbook from the schools website (and classmates.com) and perused the pages of the seniors and found Billy Franklin Gates. A face book search for Billy in the twin cities area showed me pictures of Billy sitting on the tailgate of his truck with his 2 kids and dog.

Many of you LOVE your handle. You use it everywhere. Again, a Google search will show me everywhere you’ve posted and sometimes leads me again to a social website like face book or eHarmony.

My suggestion: SHUT THE HELL UP!!

…You might want to spread a bit of misinformation around.
