This is something i have never really understood and it bothers me. Perhaps because i am too honest and straight forward? I dont know.

So why do people feel a need to do that? This especially is more true with people on the net it seems. Not everyone but a few anyways.

I didnt do it!

Often, the Net is a wonderful playground for many who use it to "be whoever they wanna be"; it offers anonymity, some security, and in some cases people will say online things that they'd NEVER relate to their closest family/friends.

It is also an instrument of "abuse of privilege"; pedophiles, spammers and all manner of disgusting things and people employ it for whatever gains they can...and too often succeed.

On the positive side, I had the GREAT pleasure of meeting AFLAC, and Coppertop met a young lady over the holidays...both proved exactly "as advertised".

Think of the Net as a double-edged sword...it has its good side, and its evil one...and proceed with caution.

How did Coppertop come about meeting his young lady friend? Happy for them!

This is just about the answer i was looking for. Great answer. Sad to think as long as i have been on the net i still seem to get fooled by some people.

We all do!!! As cautious as I have become, I still get burned or at least bummed out every once in a while when someone is not all or what they advertised. Remember the past here at S2K?
