The originator of this crazy thread has brought more attention to herself
than if she had just kept quiet. Instead, she broadcasts to the internet
that she doesn't want to be identified. Go figure!

Then, don't put that in any emails. =20
Anything you have in the public record is searchable, you just have to =
pay a fee to a background info site; there are several of them on the =
internet. They will come up with any civil suits, bankruptcies, =
employment history, list of neighbors, etc. etc.
Again, Beth, if you want to put that contact info in your signature, =
that's up to you. But, just realize emails are not and never have been =
secure. Particularly when you communicate this on a list like this, it =
is out there in the open.

Again, as I told Tom, my signature is an open invite for the RIGHT kind=20

know something about dating violence complaints in 2004 or other thing.
