We need a change of subject, aye?

We did this a few years back, and I think it's time for an update (Curtis
being a postie probably jogged my memory).
Some of you guys remember, but for the newbies, here's the drill:

If you want to take part and you're not worried about rl problems from it,
post your mailing address. Alternately, send it to those who request it
(assuming that you're willing to disclose it) in a private e-mail.
Buy a handful of postcards or cards-with-envelopes to send to other members
of ash-c.
Enjoy smiles when you check your mailbox and find cards from some of the
rest of us.

It's very cool, really. For a time I had an ash-c wall in my office, cards
from all over the world, from folks I got to know here on this group. I will
cherish those cards forever, not to mention what a wonderful morale-booster
they were while I was on treatment.
The original idea was to send postcards of where we lived, but of course the
likely suspects (Elmo, Geb and a few others) got creative and sent weird and
wonderful rather than pretty and touristy (mine were boring, just scenics of
Pender Harbour).

Anyway, to get the ball rolling, here's me:

I would think that if you've ever had an online stalker you would not
post your home address for anyone to view.
It has happened to a few people I know online here, who have had their
life almost ruined by posting this info.
The stalker can seem like a very nice person until you disagree with
them and then the psycho part starts.
This is a public forum here, don't be so free with anything personal.

Too late for that. The posts are already on other servers like Google
and the ones I use.

I agree with Eileen and Cody. Maybe we could use email and from there
use a web site that doesn't have any meta tags or isn't listed on any
search engines. I've got some old web sites that haven't shown any
activity for a very long time that we could use or we could create a new
site easy enough. I'll be glad to help in any way I can. BTW, I'm in
this time.

I said that anyone worried about rl problems could send their addy in a
private e-mail.

Speaking for myself, I live in a small town with a high-profile job, so
trying to hide my identity and address would be absurd. I publish the local
paper, and when I started treatment my editorial disclosed that I had
hepatitis c and that the Harbour Spiel would likely be wonky for a few
months at least. I have no secrets here, and I can't really imagine what
harm a stalker could do to me.

Further, usenet is no more a public forum than a telephone directory, and
contact information is there for all to see.

I'll give my address to anyone who wants it, but you'll have email me
for it.  I aint gonna post it on here.  Never know if you'll get a bomb
or some anthrax in the mail one day.  Or some pissed off, gun toting
redneck from Texas, or something showing up at your front door.

Or what happened to me this summer...

Into my office walks this crazed Viet Nam vet riba-troll from Florida,
pissed off because they wouldn't let him take his guns across the border!

Ahahahahaha!

Hope to see you here one day, Doc. I promise that you'll meet lots of good
people, have a great time and enjoy your fill of fresh prawns and BC Bud!

And that offer is extended to all my fellow dragon-fighters.

Sorry, Doc, we'll have to be walking. Guess I didn't mention that there
aren't any busses or cabs in Pender Harbour, but then if I told you all the
bad stuff you probably wouldn't show up :)

That's ok, I enjoy long-distance stumbling.  Bad stuff?  I heard that if
the beavers sense that you're scared of them, they'll chase you down the
streets in Canada.  Not to fear tho, I never met a beaver I couldn't
woop.

I suppose I shouldn't pass my address around.  After all, I deliver mail in
a post Uni-Bomber, post anthrax world.  But if you want to stalk me, I
should warn you.  I have 5 dogs. LOL.  And we have regular safety talks on
suspicious mail.

I certainly understand not posting your address online.  E-mail me privately
and I'll send you a postcard
