Heck posting here can get a wacko going.When you put stuff on YT, you open the door for all sorts of wacko's.
I posted news that I saw that Volvo ended development of gasoline engines and future design effort will be EV's.
Waco responded that I'd better not talk about that any more or I would be found dead in a dumpster. It was phrased such that two different people I've never heard of before PM'd me saying they could identify him if I suddenly quit posting.
I started using 'California' for a screen name when I started here in 2004 because in the Before Times I posted to Yahoo Groups, Usenet, Fidonet with my real name. Until someone harvested Name, IP, etc and sent out their automated spam using real names as 'From'. I got 10,000 bounce messages from different ISP's all over the world saying 'my' intended recipient wasn't on their system. And a couple of real replies. Funniest one was some lady who received viagra spam on her state government tourism office official email and was so outraged that I think the spam must have hit a nerve ...
