Also: Barry, do you not have even a clue that what you wrote -- even if you didn't actually DO it -- may be illegal? And even if it isn't illegal, that you could have totally freaked this guy Adrian out? I bought into it; I actually thought you had gone on and done what you said you did (indeed, I'm not totally convinced that you haven't). You are always the first on the bandwagon to monitor over-posting on this forum. The second someone (usually me) is over the 50-posts-per- week limit, you are posting these stats demanding that the over- poster be punished or banned. Now, put your little thinking cap on and ask yourself: what is worse, over-posting or identity theft? And since you're now claiming that you didn't actually do it, ask yourself: what is worse: over-posting or PRETENDING to steal one's identity and PRETENDING to visit child porn sites and PRETENDING to frame someone of feeding their usernames into a porn site? I got a two-week suspension for my horrible "crime". What do you think should be visited upon you?
