It really sucks when a hobbyist is so careless with e-mails or phone calls that an SO interecpts.  Number 1, she is very, very hurt.  This is the only area that I hold conflict in my participation.  Number 2, my yahoo account has been hacked 2 days after I get the call from the angry SO.  Don't know if it is related, but if it is, it is very possible that I have correspondence or folders of friends who are now vulnerable.  This is the 3rd time I have been contacted by a lady who feels very betrayed and humiliated since I have participated in this arena.  So if anyone who has corresponded with me recently, or we might be friends of any type gets wierd approaches. This is probably why.....Be smart, think about who you might hurt.  If married or attached guys must participate, than at least have enough compassion to protect your woman from pain.  I have been forced to change my domain and rebuild my website, as well as change my e-mail for YOUR protection.  My profile here will be updated shortly  My .com website is still open, I can't delete it until YAHOO finally responds.  Can't even cancel it unless I can login.  So sending tons of e-mails to yahoo, and getting generic responses, so whoever is sending e-mails to the old address are possibly being monitored by hostiles....... same domain name, but with .net now for new info....Please be safe and careful!!!!

A few weeks ago I had someone break into my Yahoo account and make changes to my Yahoo profile.  Has anyone tried faking their way through Yahoo Customer Service to test just how protective they are?

For everyone's information, Google is gradulally rolling out Gmail, which promises a better product than Yahoo or Hotmail.  See link below for more info.

It's fantastic. Another one that works VERY well for this sort of thing with built in encription is safe-mail.net.

But really, the basic bottom line is to please be discreet about your hobbies. It really will hurt your wives, and I know all of you love your wives. It's also incredibly stressful for us to get those phone calls, too. What you have at home is sacred. Protect that at all costs.

Thank you Ladies,  

I picked up hushmail today.  Discretion.....we hear that word all of the time.  It is a two way street.......
