Just curious, but how did KOS get my DU username AND email addy? |
|
I received an email from him yesterday and I was addressed by Frustratedlady. Just wondering how he also got my email addy to go with it.

1. Do you use this name on any other sites where your email is accessible? |

2. If you really want to find out... |
|
Always give out your e-mail address with a tag, so that you know what duffus betrayed you.
if your e-mail address is abc@jerk-isp.com
give out your address as abc+name-the-traitor@jerk-isp.com
Your email will still be delivered to abc@jerk-isp.com, but it will have the tag +name-the-traitor attached.
so, if you register your e-mail address as abc+the-traitor@jerk-isp.com at one and only one location, you will know who the traitor was.

4. Not sure how this works, but in our profile, there is an option |
|
that says "send an email message". I wonder if I clicked that if you would get an email, even though I don't know your address. Want me to try this out?

5. That's fine if you want to give it a try. |
|
I don't think I've ever used this username any place else, so I was amazed to see it pop up.

7. I tried, but I got this message... |
|
Missing module The page you requested cannot be displayed because the module it needs is missing. If you have any questions, please contact the site administrator.
So I don't know what module is needed, or how that happens. Seems a question to be asked though, since there is that option of just sending an email. Not a personal message, which I have done before. Sorry I couldn't help.

10. Thanks for your efforts. Apparently, I'm signed up on that site... |
|
but it must have been a long time ago, as I sure don't remember doing so. I don't even go there to read anything. Oh, well. At least my addy wasn't being sold to them.

8. I searched at Kos for your user name and it shows you as a user |
|
with a uid # of 146207 - no diaries or comments. Are you sure you never signed up at Kos and just forgot you had?

9. I sure don't remember ever using it anywhere else, but I'll check it out. |
|
Thanks for looking. I didn't even think about that and can't recall ever being on that site.
Maybe I'm losing it. :silly:

|
Maybe on some diary that was linked here...

12. Don't know but I don't appreciate their disrespect to three of the most liberal members in Congress |
|
and the former head of SEIU.
