Doug's claim is we are composite of the people we encounter

Doug has been haunted by the sudden death of his
young wife, and is philosophizing about it.

But take the case of Leonardo da Vinci.  He's achieved immortality in
people's thoughts if anyone has,  yet all that knew him are now dead.
His immortality is a memetic immortality.  Passed down through books
and manuscripts, which eventually reached our online systems.  Now
such immortality is gained via newsgroups, blogs, online books, reguar
books.  Although one would have to be a moving force indeed to stand
out above everyone else nowadays.

Also known as ... the flesh is weak, but the internet never forgets.

So, play nice, because some employers now require you to write down
overy online alias you ever used, and if you lie, they can hold you to
it in court. Brave new world.

That's the nice thing about being retired.

Ah yes. Think about all these poor, young, and naive dudes who log on
as assumed aliases, and write all sorts of gutter trash, thinking
they're home free cause they're not using their "True Names".

Then, they have to deny they ever did it, and they're set upon the
road to crime and felony and serfdom, and never even realized it. Too bad.

That's the nice part about being retired, Mr/Ms. Feedbackdroid.

Is that your given name?

Droids is my family name, and Feedback is my "christian" name.

The Internet is such a fucking scramble system your worries are
unfounded.

This is the brilliant thing about the new scheme, because scramble
or no, one is bidden to declare all of one's online aliases when
filling
certain forms, as against the prospect of going to jail upon lying by
omission or otherwise.

Had you not noticed? Lying to the FBI, for instance, is a federal
offense in its own right. But then, the typical wanker might think
"well, ha, ha, maybe I'll never be found out". The internet never
forgets.

When is the Feedbackdroid fambly reunion being held?

Alas, I'm an orfin.

What about going to the FBI main page (or the CIA's or the DOD's), and
typing in the search field "Y'all got any real good looking
secretaries who put out? Phone numbers, please." along with your name
and SSN?????????
