Because it is, you know. Totally fake. And so is the site it links to, about medical adoptions. And the dog fighting one... which means the $549 value free dog fight tracking software is fake, too.

RE: Brin: Probably not what you meant by Transparency
I had heard about this from a recent post on, I forget -- either el reg or Slashdot. Nowhere was there an implication that it was fake. It's possible this _particular_ url is fake, but there certainly is a real one floating about, whether it's this one or not. Personally I think it's a truly great idea. As for 'a $549 value' application, we can all be certain that this is pure thumbsuck material.

Gadzooks. I predicted this would be painful... A site that plots people convicted by crimes in a map of any neighborhood. http://www.felonspy.com/search.html We both need this new ere of better vision... and need desperately to grow up, in order to use it wisely.

feloneyspy.com is fake!! At this point in our nation's history, I don't believe there is any way to even compile such a database, other than the Megan's Law one, which only covers certain sexual offenses. Not that it makes sense to have a registry of them, but not murderers... but that's how it is. Nick On Wed, Apr 30, 2008 at 9:59 AM, David Brin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Gadzooks.

It's more than fake, it's one of several outrageous spoof sites by the same group, including a Medical Adoptions site (slogan: The Organs You Need -- The Home They Deserve) and PuppyProfits.com, promoting canine sport fighting as a home business with a startup kit that includes, among other things, 5 hrs a month of free legal counseling.
