    It seems odd to me that you jump to the conclusion that Digital Man was cyberstalking you.. That's a fairly serious accusation without any proof. I'm
    not sure how you came to the conclusion that he was cyberstalking you (or anyone, for that matter). He could have been at the main menu and had to leave
    his computer to do something else. He is married and has children, so I think it's certainly plausable that he had something else to attend to while he was using his BBS.

    Agree, I'm always idling on my Sbbs system, doesn't mean I'm stalking anyone here, simply that's where the session is sitting idle, while I'm doing something else.

    everytime i login to vert [which isnt often] , he is there at the main menu STALKING ME. just kidding. i just assume he has the node paging thing pulled up so it doesnt disconnect him or it's some process he's running.

    Not only that, but these BBS messages will appear online in an online search (through Google or whatever search engine you like to use) because many BBSes have a web interface to the message boards.

    I went back and looked at your message and that part wasn't there. I also checked it on your system and that part wasn't there in your message.

    And now my quote has been modified to say "dog pic".

    i think there's something wrong with your QWK settings.

    Oh, geeze, thanks. <blush> Sent a dog pic.

    I've seen 3 versions of this now: One that ended with "<blush>", one that MRO quoted that said "sent a dick pic", and now one that says "Sent a dog pic". It
    has been suggested that it might be something wrong with my system or something
    in the QWK settings? I'm not sure what would cause that? But even the original message from you on Vertrauen ends with "<blush>".

    I don't think so, my reader and SlyEdit don't add text to messages, and they don't look for specific words & phrases to change.

    The part about the dick/dog pic isn't even in DM's message on Vertrauen. It seems it was added later and then changed.

    Sorry, I thought the joke was obvious. :-/

    So are you admitting now that you were the anonymous that was messing with me all this time?

    No, I had nothing to do with whatever you're talking about.

    The "joke" I'm referring to (since apparently you can't follow context) is the modification of the quoted text in the message exchange between MRO and I, right here, in this message area. Apparently it was an "inside joke" that was created and sustained out in the open. I didn't know we were capable of such a thing. <sigh>

    There's an online forum I use where they have an explicit rule that modification of quoted text is against the rules and could lead to a ban.. Users there have called out other users on it too. I guess I'm not used to that type of thing being a joke, though I could see what was going on. :)

    There's an online forum I use where modifying quoted text is against their rules. I thought modifying the quotes was what was going on here, but from my use of that online forum, my first thought was I'm not sure if people should be
    doing that.. The other forum I use has that rule in place because people could
    make it seem like someone said something they didn't actually say.

    So someone else posted your "I'm quitting Dove-Net" message and signed it as "The Millionaire" posting as Anonymous? Also (at least on my BBS), that message was immediately before your message to DM saying "Look, it's still happening!", which seems a little suspicious..

    The simpler explanation is that people are editing quote lines when
    they reply.

    Occam's Razor. :)

    Yep. :)
    But what about Occam's shaving cream? :P

    That's the simplest way to get into a mess. ;)

    I knew what you guys were up to, and had a chuckle as it unfolded, then all of the misinterpretations afterwards. :D :D

    There's an online forum I use where they have an explicit rule that modification of quoted text is against the rules and could lead to a
    ban.. Users there have called out other users on it too. I guess I'm
    not used to that type of thing being a joke, though I could see what
    was going on. :)

    Oh, it's an old staple. I remember similar misquotings in the past. Was also common on IRC, again for laughs. :)

    I tend not to hang around web forums. Can't deal with the slow and clumsy interface.

    Well it's about time something was done about this DM. It took
    long enough. They would have gone in 5 mins if it was my bbs. No
    questions asked.

    Except that....... you don't *HAVE* a BBS.
