what do you think of someone who every year or so changes his username on the sites he frequents and is constantly changed his passwords.

is he smart or overly paranoid?

this guy also has the means to alter other personal identification and escape to Mexico/Canada if need be. :Q

Maybe he's not paranoid at all. Maybe he's deliberately hiding something.

Every year isn't all that often... I personally never do it, but every year doesn't seem like it would be that excessive :confused: To each their own.

Passwords, umm should be changed more often... Usernames, not so much... But it isnt really weird.

And doesn't everyone want a quick escape out of the US, just in case?

password isn't weird and should be changed more often likeArcenite said.
Changing username is a little odd to me though. Unless he's doing stuff under that username that can get him in trouble, i don't see the point, especially if its for forums.

alter other personal info? like social security, driver's license, birth/death certificates, etc? i'd be a little suspicious about that. sounds like he may be doing something illegal.
