Yup, it's an old email addy from my alma mater. I graduated in 2001 btw.

regardless, you were once affliated with the school. so chances are they have some record of where you live now unless you've completely cut ties. but since you still have the email address you might still donate or whatever. if someone really wanted to find you they have a last name, a first initial and a starting point.

you should really change that or hide it before your identity gets jacked.

btw, what a great year for boston sports fans eh?
Def a great year for New England, even though I'm a Bosox/Eagles fan (although Iggles had a great run too!). G/f got me the authentic Schilling jersey, can't wait till it gets warm to wear it! Also ironic that my dad got me an "86 the Curse" shirt for bday last September.

Don't really care about the old email, it just gets fwded to my craptastic hotmail account and half the time I never get it anyway. I have pretty much cut ties w/ alma mater, aside from the 15 or so friends/prof's I still correspond with out there. If you wanted to do an extensive search for info, you might be able to find it. But I'm sure as hell not going to post it, along with all my g/f's personal info + pics to millions of people in a public forum.

LOL! All of your bashing about my knowledge being public and you cant even get my state right. And your pretty slow if you didn't realize that in that post I used you're in its other meaning so that by posting you're, it would still be incorrect since the person suggested that its always you're. But this is probably beneath your high speed WVU education. Your from New Jersey right?

I was asking you if you're from KY. Again, not the sharpest blade on the rack.

Yup, I'm originally from Dirty Jersey, living in MD now.

You're still using "you're" wrong btw. You might want to do something about that.

On purpose of course. At least you moved out of Jersey. That place blows. I spent a semester in Newark at NJIT. I've never lived in Kentucky though.

Yeah, NJIT isn't bad, not as renowned as Slutgers or TCNJ because it's a new institution. I grew up in South NJ, North is a fricking dump. Driving to NYC on the NJTrnpke, my contacts/vision would get worse just from rolling the windows down, the air was so filthy! Would have to pop in some eye drops... They estimate it's the equiv of smoking a cigarette/day, regarding the air quality of NYC. Probably not that bad for you (unless you're asthmatic), but gives you an idea of how bad the pollution is.

Also, coming over the Schuykill river to Philly, it smells like someone took a dump in your air vent.

And sometimes paragraphs. And I use capital letters too. You dont :D

If you were in Newark, no wonder you think it sucks. In truth it's the greatest state in fifty, but honestly you can believe whatever you want as long as it keeps you off of the roads and beaches. :D

Yeah, my exact thought too! It's very disappointing because I always thought that the military reshaped even the worst-behaved boy. Oh well....

Its called.. a phone book.. and the article... was... already... posted.. online.. I'll speak slowly so I dont have to repeat myself again. I guess all newspapers and media should never ever report any information about anyone. George Bush lives in the white house, and I know what he looks like, and nobody has raped him yet.

And of course I dont have your real info. Your a ninja. But you dont have mine either! Or my fiances, so you wont take my bet either.
It's called unlisted phone numbers. Not everyone opts to have his/her number on the White Pages, so your point is moot. Secondly, give me dollars to pay for the service, and I'll use the name, city, county, and all bits and pieces of information you've left about yourself on the forum to obtain everything about you. It's called public records. However, it's extremely childish to get into bets with people to prove a point. Come back 5 years from now and tell me that you're still of the same opinion. Again I ask you, would you go to every street and residence in your city to publish every bit of information about yourself? The information exists, but you don't go broadcasting the information, except where it is necessary. People at work know you (e.g., you have a relationship with them), your neighbors know where you live, but it isn't the same as you going to the homeless guy on the main street of New York City and displaying your place of residence and disclosing personal details to him. The internet is a medium of such nature because you do not know who sees what you publish; therefore, it is always advisable to give information out discreetly. You don't know how many people are lurking on AT right now, for example.

Again, I don't see anything wrong with you choosing to live your life like you do if it soothes you. It's your life. The issue is your behavior more than even your point.

LoL. you act like I'm a career criminal. Believe me, theres 10x worse then this. Maybe if you did something to deserve some respect. I actually dont hate sp33demon, but your on a whole new level. I dont think I could ever have any sort of intelligent conversation with you. Although that seems to be a common theme in your life. At least on here.

And I never broadcast any information! It was a damn publicly printed picture that was in the newspaper that doesn't even have either of our correct hometowns! Crawl out of your hole. Actually, stay in.

Yeah, that's the problem with the whole name-calling and feistiness that you started. It takes away the main points people have made or are attempting to make. There were different points made here by different people. I happen not to agree with Sp33demon's contention in this case. Yes, people can obtain information about you, but--in this case--it was irrelevant since you were aware of the fact that the information existed on there; and you had already published it on the newspaper. However, there's another point being made, which although isn't applicable to your case is generally helpful: It is not always wise to just give out information with the I-don't-care attitude. Other members already made the different arguments for why it is not a wise idea to do so. You were applying your situation to every single case of deciding whether or not to share your personal information.

P.S. You can hold grudges if you want, but I don't do that. It would be expending energy on a negative thing that adds nothing productive to my life.

Not everyone agrees with you. And the people whom I tend to respect more on the forums tended to agree with me and not you. I can go through and pick out names if you wish, but it should be fairly obvious.

Oh, and I never said that I dont have some social issues, which are severely enhanced by the fact that I'm in a desert surrounded by people that I dont like, and would never converse with.

I do like messing with people and name calling, especially to friends. Its an understanding that we have, and I expect it back. If ever needed for serious support, I'd be there like you wouldn't believe. You may call it childish, but its much funnier in person. At least thats what people tell me. Theres no way to post inflection.

So get on jigga bo porch monkey, get on!

With you being a Lifer, you should know better. I would like to see you stand up in the barracks and call someone a porch monkey.

Yup, the racist comment was uncalled for, and should be edited out by the Mods.
