So it was all well and good earlier in the thread when you expressed a wish for an autographed copy of the book, but now the whole thing is a childish mistake? Little hypocritical there don't you think? Halfway through the thread it starts to drift here and there anyways, it's not full of sychophants gushing about validation. It IS kind of neat, so people are excited about it (myself included). I think you're being melodramatic.

Keep in mind, like nearly all conversations here, the subject has morphed. I WAS about who this person was soliciting personal information. That was completely cleared up.

Now the discussion is about the wisdom or need for guarding personal information on-line, and what the real risks are. I think that is a valid topic for serious discussion, even if some of the 'serious' discussion is lighthearted.

Hey...I'm just saying...

OK, so how does confirming that Kathleen Bellamy is really the e-mailer prove that she isn't going to do any or all of these things to you? [Smile]

It's not a question of whether she really is the emailer she claims to be, but that she is indeed OSC personal assistant and that she intends to do what she claimed she would do.

If she were a psycho-axe-murderer, I think OSC might have noticed before now.

So when do I get credit for almost coming up with the working title for the new book?

I posted quite early in the topic, so I assume that if I did get an e-mail, it certainly was filtered into my junk and is gone by now.

Darn.
