I knew all the above information already.

Rick/Alex, what would be "going too far?"

I haven't had any satisfactory response to that question from you two. May I
hire a detective to work up a dossier on each of you and post it here? Even
if whatever was scrounged up by the detective was benign, wouldn't you feel
invaded to a great degree?

To me this is a case of a very very tiny sin, and I think there's definitely
a slippery slope that is being denied.

If Alex will go to some trouble to help others here know more about Nab, how
much more trouble would he go to to reveal info that he knows because he is
a moderator here? He's OFTEN -- MANY TIMES NOW -- told us all about how he's
figured out that "so and so" is "so and so" if we judge by the IP addresses
to see that their user-names all have the same IP addresses. That's another
example of where Alex may/may-not have an agenda, but one thing is pretty
clear, those whose info was being revealed were not give any veto power over
that publishing of their info. Their anonymity has been pierced
purposefully. It sure seems to me that Alex wanted to "clear things up," by
using his insider info that he should normally be expected to be far more
responsible about than, say, header information.

I'd say Alex has tread the slippery slope with one foot still on
non-slippery ground, but a breach of some sort, of some degree, has
occurred.
That's one way of looking at it, and may be valid. Another way of looking at
it is that Alex is doing people a favor by warning them about information
they may unwittingly be making public, such that they can take precautionary
measures if they wish.
