You do all the testing you wish, and all the posting of your own
personal information that you like, but please do not encourage others
to do the same. You may not be able to retrieve information, but it is
archived in such a way that it is easily retrieveable. While my post
was certainly worthy information that should be considered as such, if
you choose to ignore it so be it.

I'm not trying to beat this into the ground, but everyone reading
this should go to Dogpile, and type in their home phone number. Once
that is done click on your name and that brings up the map to your
house.(There is a method you can use to block this function) Now for
very little expense you can receive more detailed info from a web
based info company. Cell numbers, PO Boxes can be broken as well.

Then try typing in your name at Dogpile, or trail name with
letterboxer behind it. There are some folks that have quite a bit of
information posted on the internet and that can be accessed with or
without using the letterboxing add on. Work places, other
hobbies,memberships to other groups can be ascertained fairly easily.

While I did not find any LbNCA posts, there were several from LBNY
that was available.I probably could have found the LbNCA posts with
a little more digging.

A friend and fellow investigator obtained Rebecca Scheafer's address
from her license plate years ago for his client, so I am a little
paranoid when it comes to having information too accessable. His
life changed when her life was ended.

Why not be a little more cautious when using chatlists?

Hi Don,

I tried both your Dogpile tests and ended up removing my listing from
their White pages site. Testing my trail name brought up many listings
involving my input on various boxes. I was just reading an article where
someone was working on a cold murder case and found the guy who did
it through classmates.com. That would be a beneficial use of such info,
but I'm sure there are plenty of stories of abuses.

I don't like to go through the world in fear, but I also don't want to be
stupid and make it easy for those abuses to happen to me. I very much
appreciate your background in security and your looking out for us.

Hi Kel,
Caution is the only thing I'm preaching. When you have a choice
about posting information it is best to err on the caution side. If
anyone wishes to ignore my input, that is now an 'informed' choice.
Investigators used to use a technique called 'dumpster diving', and
I have done my share of that, but today the 'dumpster diving' is
done on the computer.
Information comes from many areas that you think is innocent.
I once found a deadbeat dad by ascertaining that he was a league
bowler. League bowlers are nationally registered and that info today
may have a few obsticles in the way of obtaining it, they are only
minor obsticles. Any information about anyone can be found given
sufficient time and money, including a real picture of a real
drivers license.

FYI,I liked your Drivers License picture, but you must have had a
bad night?

Don
