Good Afternoon Monks!  Sorry but this is totally OT

How can someone steal your screen name and send out emails under your screen name???

Sunny...did you send one yesterday or did someone use your name?

I got a reply from someone I WOULD NEVER had sent an email to....????

Did you send a picture yesterday?

airplane yes....this was a reply to an email I didn't send the email but it sure looked like I did ....I ran my virus scan and spybot....and I have a firewall....I am totally confused!

You may have been on a forwarded list... or someone forwarded your email and the person replied to all....

The can figure out your password... that's why it is important to change your password from site to site... and make it difficult...

that's my guess anyway...

OK....well I am off to change my password.....actually it's kinda funny .....but it was very, very strange......

Wanted to assure Mere and everyone else...no viruses or anything.....jsut a strange happening.

AAAwwwww FM you are too sweet...but I think the mystery might now be solved.

[Mere]

If I click on Sunny's profile...then her e-mail....her address comes up on a blank letter....I don't think we could do that before....if we wanted to e-mail klaas for example...I think the address did not show up...and if she did not respond, we would not know what her address was....am I forgetting how this is done...?

[flyingmermaid]

Where did Terry go????????????????

I am not sure MeMere when I get emails from my profile, I can always see the address I reply to.... but you have to send me and email first...

Hello all you beautiful & handsome monkeys.

I'm still having connectivity problems with AOL.  Grrrrrr.  Have I missed anything important.

IMO, if they ever let a sexual predator out of prison, they need to microchip him with GPS, put a monitor on his ankle, and chemically castrate him.  He would need to go everyday to a clinic to receive his medicine and if he didn't show for even one day, he would be tracked with the GPS, arrested and receive life without parole.  

We already have prison overcrowding, but it costs big bucks to execute a prisoner b/c of all the appeals processes which take so dang long.  Then we have all these ACLU's screaming for prisoners rights. They need to streamline the appeals process and put murders to death within 2 years max from conviction.

Sometimes though, a prisoner can be innocent.  We had a man here in prison for 24 years for a rape he didn't commit. He was finally freed last fall.  If the prisoner is really innocent, then he would go everyday to the clinic for the chemical castration b/c he would not want to go back to prison.  Then he can try to prove himself innocent on his own dollar.

I also think that the prisoners should be made to work on a chain gang type of labor and send all the money they earn to the victim.  They also need to stop coddling our prisoners.  Take away their airconditioning, TV, canteen, cigarettes, computers, etc.

I'm sorry, but I am hardline.

sunfreak I am in total agreement with you....I think the prison syste should take a clue from Sheriff Joe Arpaio in AZ....I have a friend who's son was sent there for drugs.....he spent 10 months there and is now graduating from college...that 10 months turned his life around....he know one thing for sure when he got outta there...he would never do anything that might put him back there

My short term memory is the pits....does anyone remember....if you went to a profile and the person had the "e-mail" notation......you would click on it....then there was a subject line and a message body space...you wrote in each and clicked submit....just like a post but a different size....I liked that because it seemed so safe....anyone coming in could write you but not know your e-mail address unless you gave it to them.....

of course, people with short term memory problems should give up quickly....before the rest of the group thinks they are nuts....so, I give...!

Memere - that is something I can't check because my security level is different.  If you are actually seeing the email address then that is something different than used to happen and Tom needs to know about it.  Is that what it is?  You see the email address now?

Hey MeMere! and all Monkeys!

That is how I remember sending email thru our profiles. No email address is shown in the message you are typing thru our profiles.

Klaas...yes....I had mine in my profile....and when I clicked on it...it was an email form showing my email addy...I have now checked that it not be shown....I did have it checked that it could be....hope this makes sense.
