All in all, I'm fun, but, otherwise, pretty boring.
You sound fun not boring.

There are many years when I longed for not having such a colorful Internet identity. But the 224 613 Journey has not allowed that all that much and the computer was often the only resource I had to get my work out there. That and hundreds of thousands of e-mails and maybe a thousand letters and/or packages. It also does not allow me to be all that anonymous. I do think that fighting to empower survivors/victims of various kinds of crimes through giving them access to practical information is a very worthwhile cause or I would not have been working on it off-and-on since January 1991. I did inform the Sumter County Sheriff's Office that I was here around November 2005 after our move from Palm Harbor, Florida in June of 2005. I was worried about the Chesterfield County, VA cyberstalker/cybersmearer so just touched base-- so to speak-- with the Sumter County Sheriff's Office. I decided not to be a pest though like I had been with the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office which probably had put me in the fruitcake file. I know some people still do that anyway.

I still get pot shots taken at me on Topix.com but just see them as going with the work that I do. Part of my Internet identity and not worth any worry.
