>From time to time, I have to deal with guys out there impersonating me in
various places. I just came across one such on a bulletin board system, and
while I was at GenCon, somebody mentioned he was in Salem, Oregon and heard
somebody claiming to be me (it wasn't) call in to a local radio station and
upbraid somebody who said he liked Trek over B5.

For starters, if anybody in Salem heard this broadcast and knows what station
it was, which talk show, let me know so I can contact them. In addition, if
you see me posting any where unusual, or simply out of the usual, and you think
maybe it might not be me...please let me know. Sometimes these people can
wreak substantial damage.

Thanks.

<< SHOCKED STARE >>

You mean that's *NOT* you posting over on

"rec.arts.bondage.whips.wallabies&duct_tape" ????

It *reads* like you........


*seriously*, you say "please let me know."

What's the best way, just a posting here with "ATTN: JMS" in the
subject line?

I just noticed last week that the non-B5-related address I used to
use for you is no longer in existence; and your current AOL address
is set not to receive mail. ( Or is it just *me* it's set not
to receive mail from? If so, no offense taken! *grin* )

That's putting it mildly! Sorry to hear that, Joe. Having had my account
hacked and finding out what the hacker had done under my name, I know the
feeling. It's theft of identity even if they aren't ruining your credit rating.

Good luck finding the person!

I notice that on the UNIX news groups everyone uses digital signatures to
authenticate their messages. Will you have to do the same?

This post on 24 Aug 2000 04:22:01 -0700 would probably sound more commanding if JBONETATI wasn't wearing the Yummy Sushi Pajamas:
: << Sometimes these people can
: wreak substantial damage. >>

Really! I'm disappointed that the thread wasn't on what I originally
thought... a whole line of JMS Celebrity Impersonators, along with Marilyn
Monroes, Clark Gabels, Grouchos, and Elvii.

Funny, it took me a few days toremember something. On a bulletin board
elsewhere, I posted a comment recently. For some reason it showed up fine but
under somebody elses handle. I didn't really think too much about it but that
could be part of the problem that you describe, Joe. I have much less to worry
about as far as my online identity is concerned.

Hope this is helpful information.
