Funny you should mention second email address John. I was locked out of THIS
List until I provided a SECOND email address, and/or my mobile phone number,
under the guise of it being for MY added security - WHAT THE...? And by some
flukey coincidence THAT is when some posters messages started disappearing? I
would get a reply to someone in my 'Inbox' never having received the original
posters message, and at other times messages ended up in my 'Junk' box, again -
WHAT THE...? I've been a member here for a little while now and *never* have I
had any of that occurring before.
Even with YouTube, I'm into Locksport and some subscribers to my channel have
been "unsubbed" on occasion? And some end up being blocked as suspected
"spam"? Even though these people have been subbed to my channel for a couple
of years?
Conspiracy theory?.....Everyone involved with the public domain is being
"steered" somewhere, and it's got zilch to do with an individuals security.
Although with all the terrorist activity today they would argue it IS for your
and my security - Yeah, right!
Mike summed it up perfectly for me..."Security by obscurity", but that's
becoming more impossible as each day passes. Somewhere, someone can monitor
EVERYONE'S business. Nothing new perhaps, but I wonder just how many people
understand the full consequences of that 'secret' access?
As it is with todays bureaucracy tripping over their own paperwork, so it is
with computer spies tripping over their own computer programming to gain access
to your and my privacy. Little "glitches" appear from time to time as they are
fiddling about with their binary codes or whatever in their programs.
Like when Microsoft changed from 'XP' {I think} to Vista, I could not beg, buy
or borrow the old XP program anywhere? Hmmmm...I wonder why that was? *Every*
store I approached could not possibly have sold the last one they had the day
before I asked for it? It completely vanished off the face of the earth when I
asked each store to instal 'XP' and not Vista. Could it be because that old
program didn't have an inbuilt facility enabling "someone?" to access your
computer at the push of a button. Well that's my opinion anyway. Everything
today is "linked" to a Big Brother data base somewhere.
See, the worlds hysteria and paranoia is even starting to get to me <g>. I
certainly won't be sorry when my 'use by' date comes around.
Apologies for this being just a tad Off Topic, but I don't think the
idiosyncrasies have got anything to do with this email platform.
