Remember most newsgroups are unmoderated and a haven for Trolls, one of which games is to impersonate regulars. (not that the other Steve was trying to do that in this case) So learn to keep a eye on the posting headers and if the info in them looks right for the person you expect to be reading Most Usenet users use aliases which they hide behind, others like myself use their real names hoping to add creditability to their postings. I think the point of Usenet is it's simple text based so efficient on bandwidth and use of your PCs resources, and mostly unmoderated so free speech. With easy to use free Usenet servers like eternal-september to use on free newsreaders like OE, Free agent, etc Lots of other advantages too i'm sure Steve Terry -- Welcome Sign-up Bonus of �1 when you signup free at: http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/G4WWK

I did login in here to read the thread briefly, but I didn't make the post above attributed to me, nor am I the other contributor whom you took me to be. As I use a library PC, and all in the county use the same browsers, it is possible that someone hacked in to make a post in my name, but otherwise I am unable to explain it. Whatever advantages you attribute to Usenet, security obviously isn't one, and username misidentity is equally obviously rife. That is one reason why I usually stick to secure forums, and have only recently joined here because of my interest in the 351 callthrough for three pre-pay users. I may well now delete my registration here before something worse ensues.
