I was thinking of that case only last week as it happens. Can't think why! 
And that is why too much personal information is a no-no. 
Was it Anna B?

it's true.
Remember on the other forum (C4), each year when BB was on, loads of newbies would sign up and there would be a plethora of threads . . . "What's your name?", "Where do you come from?", "What's your job?" and it would be possible to build up a 'profile' of those stupid enough to give such information freely - I never understood why the mods never deleted the threads as it was clearly warned against in the rules about divulging such informaton!

Yet more stereotypification. 
I'm sure that, if they asked for them politely, I would be safe handing my details to Cologne and half of them to Hollygolightly.

I think more people are murdered by foke they didn't meet on the internet.... In fact are most people not murdered by someone they know... I might be wrong, but I've just been in the Macann thread and I see reality is not really an a factor around here.... perhaps
My cousin had an internet stalker.She plays that warcraft game.She's been doing it for years and is pretty advanced in it.Leader of guilds or something.She can organize war parties etc.Her partner is into it too.Some bloke from America was smitten by her,everytime she logged on ,he'd appear.
She eventually had to get him banned from the game,and from other sites too.That was a couple of years ago.Lots of wierdos out there.

I agree (even though i used to answer them!) Another one is the porn star name thing, the one where you use your mothers maiden name and a pets name. Alot of people use pet names as passwords and isnt mothers maiden name a widely used security question along with date of birth etc?quote:Originally posted by Barolo:

I know the web isnt packed full weirdos but you wouldnt know is someone was a weirdo first off would you?
It's scarey stuff knowing people can find out where you live from a forum, i drive by that pub on the way into town it's not nice when you drive by knowing someone was killed in there.
