When I wrote " Thanks you guys!" that was meant with a small reserve of facitiousness and a tinge of sarcasm.

What is DISQUIETUDE?
... just btw here, I dont think ex-Canuck, ex-Edmontonian "RYP" will ever fully appreciate the damage he invoked by allowing and that is: condoning, the publishing of a persons real name, any real persons... and sacrosanct identity on his message board.
I am guilty of nothing other than sending a privately sent email not meant for public consumption as is done on a daily basis by millions and millions of people around the world on a daily basis practically by rote, and they should have no "fear" that their messages will be broadcast publically or neccessarily fear embarassement.
The person who published my email was suppossedly supposed to be a police officer if not then directly affilicated with law enforcement authorities and thought he might have a "special" appreciation of my predicament. In any case, it is now well known and a demonstrated fact that police forces in general including our RCMP are not immune to infiltration from as nefarious as elements as child pornography producers and purveyors seeking audiences for consumption.
But the damage suffered by me for my "error" in sending an email is only to be supassed by allowing that message to be published.
Surely in the age where the term Google enters into a popular usage and even earns an entry into popular and respected dictionarys, the very idea of causing harm to a persons name and reputation cold not have been a very FAR gone conclusion to even someone with the most limited computer knowledge, let alone RYP and his far fetched brand of world weary travelers.
I can only assume it is not within his character to so something as humble as offering an apology, I was going to use the word magnimous, but such a word as that for someone who probably relies on a bevy of sycophants (ala GWB) for advice anyway....would hardly be fitting.
For all the frowning criticism he has of Bush and hatred and stupidity of comments launched by him and people like seektravelinfo....they have their own reflection to greet them every morning too.
Its the same thing: bad information. Except I have to deal with the fallout from prospective employers (who may politicize unfairly) and even people renting houses,rooms and apartments.
All of which are situations btw, which posters and writers and authors such as "RYP" and his band of merry followers will probably never ever have to deal with. In the real world where they need not worry about renting a house or looking for a job. And I presume its because the lesson they have taught to me will never ever have to be learned by themselves first.
I know we all have a debt of gratitude towards the Plames and the Wilsons of the world as well as respect, but certainly no one at the Flag i.e the Black Flag Cafe, is willing to extend that gratitude as a token of respect.
They are all too busy cloaking themselves behind the guaranteed veils of their anonyminity.
