A Cabbies Day

[mantra]

*woosh*

Are we talking about similes here Aussie? Let me see - what have we missed?

it has some relevance here.

Our relationship has reached the point where I no longer merely ignore his weaknesses, and he does not ignore mine. Now, we mercilessly take the piss out of each other, but I am always vigilant, wary not to push him too far, because I do not know what his tolerance levels really are, given there is an unknown to me, and that is…..what will turn the switch in his head.

I will take the words "I am always vigilant" as being of some relevance. Of course you are probably always one step ahead of the rest of us, but it's still better not to push people too far, because you can occasionally underestimate someone.

I knew the course, and all the greens. He did get to the greens for much less than me……...but he could not putt for shit. One flaw to his game, but a vital one. Having one eye, he had no consistent or reliable perception of length within the confines of a golf green.

We all suffer from a lack of perception on one kind or another, and while it is there to be seen by others, it can easily be ignored by them.

Now that's profound Aussie. Of course you know PA inside and out. I can see what you want for it, but there are no longer the people left who will comply with your ideology. You are not playing a round of golf here with people with Downs Syndrome or some other debilitating disability - or maybe you are if we're to judge your verbalisation of some of us which can be quite harsh and condescending at times.

Getting warmer yet Aussie?

Not even close, mantra, but that is par for the course with you.

If you must, use something like http://hidemyass.com/ and type the address to his board in manually ..but even then, I'm not taking chances, I have heard some are capable of sniffing out peoples real IP's behind proxies of this nature, so unless you know what you are doing, don't take chances.

This is not probable connecting to normal boards. This would require a trogan to be installed on your machine that communicates this to the host owner. You wpould needto accept this into your system if you have proper firewalls.

I don't see it as a threat.

Remember, knowing your IP for a session tells them very little. The most they get is the Proxy server of your ISP. If they are clever enpough to pull apart the IP header, they could launch an attack on your PC directly, however a hide my ass type proxy would not protect you from that, if they did that the clever way.

The only advantage of Hidemyass is to stop people doing IP matching that is meaningful (not that it is really anyway).

I comments above is to help reduce the fear around this issue. You are pretty safe.

I can see other reasons not to go there.

Also: So as to not polute this thread, I'm happy to continue this discussion in another thread.

Not when you go to Aussie's forum, which is what he is trying to get members to do. Then he can see everything...EVERYTHING.



The dirty old perv!

Here it is. Where are Bart and Mellie these days? A padded cell?

[lisa jones]

It's advertising to try and lure you to his own forum.
There he can obtain your IP.

Spot on.

I suggest no one here enters any forum that's been placed on this board by specific members.

If you must, use something like http://hidemyass.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and type the address to his board in manually ..but even then, I'm not taking chances, I have heard some are capable of sniffing out peoples real IP's behind proxies of this nature, so unless you know what you are doing, don't take chances.

This is why I'm not.

So in essence, Aussie's Cabbie topic was just a front, to lure and hoodwink unsuspecting people onto a forum he could easily stalk you on...and obtain your personal details.

Bloody hell.

Yes, what has happened to Mellie and Bart?

Yes, what has happened to Mellie and Bart?

Mantra would know. I miss having them around ...

Bart kept accusing me of being Annielaurie. Aussie and Agnes keep accusing me of being IQ and now Redneck is accusing me of being LJ.

It would be funny if it wasn't so crazy.

You have always had an identity problem. Annielaurie never believed you were anybody but yourself. She considered herself an expert in those matters.
