JP I wish to put this scenario to you.
You are OS/on tour or otherwise not on the net and by devious means I become you via another website or worse on the normal websites. Would you not be offended?
If taken just a step further say I pick up a gig under your guise and act like a complete pratt!
Is this not what theft identity is even in cyberspace?
I can google my name and it seems that there are three hits. Two in Australia and one in America, of course I'd like to keep my name, by whatever guise I chose to be un-sullied and I think you do to.
Whilst this is taking things to the limit at what point do you want the limit to be reached?
Hopefully we can agree that with global communication as it is, identity theft may not mean personal loss but an image tarnished that could lead to loss by other means. We all have an ego and a standard in which we follow but I'm sure we don't want anybody making our lives harder for some "sh!ts and giggles".
Trust me it's something I could react to in negative way, I just hope I'm never provoked.
And on a happier note, 'Go you beaut thing Mike" on the thread deletion. Really did you threaten to re-incarnate an All Yorkshire pace attack on the Aussies this summer?
