Mikey V. must think that crossing the Rocky Mountains by riding on the
paved shoulder of I-70 is mountain biking.

Doesn't really good socking require running at least 4 simultaneously, with
all of them supporting each other's views? Rather than tossing one sock and
then creating another one later.

If the poster isn't using multisox all at once, then having only one
identity but using a pseudonym doesn't really accomplish the purpose you've
described

The more interesting sock is when someone uses an apparently real name, but
several people use the account but don't remember or care to learn what the
other users have said

now those are more fun

you can't really have a good discussion without stirring something up, but
for the record Marika is my real name
so how's everyone reacting to Wright's presentation at the Press Club this
am.

Not sure if that's directed towards me or not, my real name and where
I live is posted elsewhere. My nic doesn't make my opinion,
experiences or knowledge any less valid than someone who uses their
real name on their account.

Interesting factoid.

There can be other motivations involved. Anonymity to prevent spam or
something more loathsome. A lot of people have unlisted numbers and numbers
listed under phony names for the same reason.

It can be that the person posts in one group using a name and in another
group using another name and tries to keep the mail to and from each
separate

Could be different machines or whatever, but used for sorting

Could be that the person just identifies with a particular thought or idea
associated with the name and likes that name so uses it

I wouldn't take such great meaning in the choice of a handle or email
address for usenet as you have applied

Someone could be using what appears to be a real name and it isn't theirs,
and you'd never know.

I could get me an email address and call myself John Smith and you'd never
realize that I'm not unless I told you

That you are more comfortable talking to someone that appears to have an
anglo sounding name is one of those funny things about usenet that lots of
scam artists take advantage of. That's why all those Nigerians use anglo
sounding names and trick so many old ladies into sending them money

When coupled with continual LYING, it's obvious that the intent is to
deceive.

Obviously

If you really want to make a dent in someone's credibility but keep your own
the usenet standard is as follows

Discussion followed by comma the person's name comma parentheses if that is
your real name close parentheses

works every time

Not much going on here. Waiting for the bus, I saw a guy with earbuds
attached
to his head singing his head off.

"Don't hate on us, we're fabulous"

And then, I missed entirety of Project RUnway. OUr building
had a party in the tv room because someone from our neigbhorhood is
involved, but
i didn't see the invite til too late.

My parents are coming to see my place on Tuesday. My father has been
fighting the blue screen
of death with his computer.
We will probably both go computer shopping together when we get back.

I'm thinking seriously about Macintosh this time. This is ridiculous.

Even this computer system here in the main office is slow now and they are
supposed
to have a terrific cable connection

I repeat I do not know what I am talking about
