OKAY, STOP ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember, YOU posted all these details, and will again every time
you post to ANY group! They are there for anyone who cares to look,
in the headers for your post. If you are paranoid about it, stop
posting! :) Most of us don't give a monkey's where you live or post
from, but this *is* an international group: it's no good you asking
where I get some notion or bit of equipment from, or the price you
can expect to pay, if you are in Tasmania and I bought it in Preston
market in Lancashire! I need to know where you are so I can find
you some relevant info, which is what Beverly was pointing out...
:) And there are a lot of very net savvy folk on this group, who
have been posting a loooooong time! They are very useful when
things go belly up...

I've been posting here and elsewhere for years, and other than
occasional rashes of spam (easily dealt with by Mailwasher) have had
no problems. Someone tried to steal my email address once with a
remailing program, but their true address got dug out of their
headers by someone here and they were shopped to their ISP. It can
be a very useful attribute.

Thanks Kate. I didn't consider how the OP might react to that
information. And the reason I looked at her IP address in the first
place was precisely as you suggested, to see if an eBay auction in
Australia might be useful to her. I do understand her reaction, I was
shocked after my first few posts here (over five years ago) "in the
open" to start receiving bucket loads of spam. I learned quickly to
disguise (munge) my real e-mail address, and it took a while longer
before I learned that the headers contained information about my ISP.
Live and learn...
