Nic, do you remember when Txsleuth's name was stolen and posted over at another site, and someone one here posted it? I can't remember when it was done to her, but I think she might remember.

I FRmailed her and told her what was going on.

That happens, people stealing your name.

I know; it's happened to me.

Yeppers nic----I had a bad few days because someone using my screen name went to DUmmieland, bragging about how "I" had "infiltrated" FR...and got a lot of freepers to trust me, and believe that I was one of "them"...

A lot of freepers just "talked" about me for a long time that day, and I had no clue about it...and then a few actually let me know, like pbrown (even though she was mad at what she thought was me) in a freepmail...

Also, a few contacted the admin moderator..and was reassured that I was NOT the person that would go on DU...

I still have no clue who did it...and luckily it hasn't happened again.

But, if you suspect someone has "stolen" your name to use against you, I would contact Jim personally, or and admin moderator and warn them.

Besides, you are very well known here, and FWIW, I would vouch that you are one of the "good guys"...LOL
