If the thread poster was foreclosed, how is he posting on the Internet?

I go to our local Special Collections Library at least once a week working on our family tree (genealogy). The library has about eight computer monitors sitting on desks. Everytime I go there at least six of them are being used by individuals who appear to be either homeless or living on the edge. Shoddy clothes, scruffy, etc. I have no idea what their status is but it does seem a bit odd to see over half of these computers being used to play Solitaire or on-line games. And it does not cost anything to use them, only a sign on procedure with the Library System, tantamount to a library card.

I used to be a library computer user. Of course we only had four and nobody really knew they were there.
