ROFLMAO! Funny how he attempts to turn himself into a victim ,particularly
since he started flinging the child molestation charges 15 years ago and has physically threatened anyone who dares mock his aberrant behavior. I do think that the way he hides behind that poor abused dog shows what a heinous creature he is. |

Not all that depressing since I never participated in 98% of what's shown, but spending 10 minutes on a fruitless search WAS :-( -- Cheers, Bev oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Will give investment advice for food. |

Some of the assholes even want capital letters and numbers as if the site was actually important. Just get a password manager addon for your browser. I use LastPass. You access it with just a single password of your choosing. It keeps track of what password goes with what website, and can generate random passwords of any desired length, with whatever special items the website wants, like capital letters, number or special characters, etc. It brings up a dialog box for that. You can install it on Firefox, Chrome, or IE, and on multiple PCs - you have a single account with it, and it keeps track cross-platform and cross-browser. Solves a lot of problems. Or just start using a Mac which comes with "Keychains"... |

It's not like it was. I still read the groups I used to, but I find few posts and posters. The tech groups are more active, of course. And the mozilla groups via nntp are still alive, but I've been banned from two of the support.* groups because of off-topicality -- even when my posts are completely on-topic. Fortunately the unmoderated group is useful -- lots of other people have been banned too. -- Cheers, Bev oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Will give investment advice for food. It started eroding years ago. The ISP I use (Cox Communications) has no clue about usenet, and apparently just dropped it when @home, which they used as an email conduit, and which had fairly good usenet integrated into its email access page, went out of business. Even in the good days, ISPs started dropping legitimate, busy, uncorrupted newsgroups like sci.chem. So now I use google groups for the few newsgroups I find interesting, but do most of my online gossiping through forums designed to be web-based. Only one of them charges a fee, and that only for advanced features like looking up who "thanked" one of your postings. |

I shouldn't say this, but I use the same password for most sites that require it, or add a suffix specific to that site. For example, my password to Google Groups is default passwordgg. I also use "password" as my password to my laptop user account - I read somewhere that that is the most common password people use. I used to work at a place that required a new password every 90 days, and required that the password be at least 8 characters, and have at least one lower case, one upper case, on number, and one non-alphnumeric character. My solution was to use geometric passwords, such as upper left corner, which did not require me to memorize the individual characters, but which allowed easy entry of 12wq!@WQ |
