If they cannot find the person that you want, you can, for a fee, do a more intensive search.

Hehe... it seems that every crazy **** up person can hunt you down, gbob.

But if someone had reason to you'd probably know about it.

Here in norway everyone can be found, unless they don't want to be, in which case they would merely reserve themselves from public listing.

I would **** myself if someone called Gollum was looking for me.

Quite sure we'll never have something like this.. Everybody has it's right for privacy, and that's very important.

It would seem you have a bit to learn about how the Web and the 'Net work.

I agree privacy is important, but I'll observe that most folks have a very poor understanding of what merely posting content to online websites, forums, discussion boards, and usergroups entails. With no effort beyond typing your username into just one search engine, I came up with nearly 25,000 hits -



Bouncing around through what is available via just a very few of the links yielded by that search, I was able to dig up, among other stuff, what you claim is your real name, the country, province, and town you claim to be from, phone numbers and street addresses you have listed, eMail addresses you have used, along with an IP block containing several IP addresses (consistent with your self-claimed location) from which you've posted to various websites and forums, that you have an interest in and offer your freelance services pertaining to website design and SEO, and that apparently you or somene posting through the Wikipedia account linked to your username has been warned about spamming Wikipedia - all publicly available, easilly accessible info.

Nothing unusual there - the method will turn up enough info on almost any username to make tracking down the person behind that username a matter of little or no difficulty. By and large, "privacy-through-anonymity" on the 'Net is a myth.

Oh, and you can relax some; I won't post here the actual identifying info I turned up - that wouldn't be ethical. I may have loose morals, but I do have strong ethics

Never realized how much you could find out from a search engine and you don't even have to be a technogeek to find this stuff out.

As I said - most folks don't realize it.


Another thing to note - with just a little "geekiness" used maliciously, even more information easilly may be ferreted out, but by and large, most legitimate "technogeeks" are pretty ethical types. There are badguys out there, of course, but fortunately they're a very small minority. Still, for their relatively small number, they can - and do - perpetrate a dismayingly disproportionate amount of damage if given the inclination, motivation, and opportunity.

I did a search on my username. One or two links to my posts on this forum popped up, but there were a whole lot of other pages in all kinds of languages, in no way related to me, so all in all I guess I'm pretty safe. Good luck finding the real me.

That's why I chose such a popular American name. There are millions
of "Calamity Jane's" out there.

Oh, I dunno - took some doing, and I easily might have gotten off onto the wrong track, but I'm curious; would the initials AB and a phone number ending in 5879 mean anything to you?

Hhhmmmmm
Maybe he left town!

Mebbe he's just looking for some Danish cheese, zoofer

yikes timber.

Those are my initials yes. And those digits are the last for in a number I had years ago. Looks like you found me. Well done.

Don't worry, Cyracuz ... my morals might be loose by some standards, but I've got strong ethics

All the same.. remind me not to pizz you off.

Try Interpol site, maybe it'll help

Btw, who are we looking for?

wow...you're good, timberlandko. I kind of doubt you'd find anything on me though, because I use different usernames for everything.....
but i could be wrong :O



edit: whoops, sorry I didn't realize this was an old thread
