BTW, how'd you know where I live?


As one of my good friends says "No imagination." It's fairly simple, first
you look at the headers of the posting made by the person you want to gather
information on.

In this case, the interesting headers in your post are
X-Original-NNTP-Posting-Host: 111pm5.cvc.net
X-Original-Trace: 22 Jun 2003 16:15:27 -0700, 111pm5.cvc.net
NNTP-Posting-Host: 65.125.100.4

The first tell us you probably have dial-up access, since it appears you
connected to port 111 on the lucent/livingston portmaster pm5. So you
probably live in the local calling area of cvc.net

A quick browsing of www.cvc.net shows that they focus on the Klamath Falls
market. Additional their contact information listed on their website, and
registered in whois shows an address of.
Office Location: 2250 So 6th St., Klamath Falls, OR 97601

From there, we can assume you live in or near that area. So we next search
for resturants listed in Zagat or the Klamath Falls local paper.

Finally since you go by the name Shelly, we would then look for other posts
you may have made on usenet, public mailing lists or website chat forums as
either or

If I had the desire and the time, I'd read all your posts, looking for more
information about you. Maybe you once disclosed your full name, if so we'd
check one of the many internet white page phone books for your phone number
and address. Maybe someone refered to you as another online alias that would
provide more clues.

A cursory glance at your other usenet posts suggests you have interests in
cooking, gardening and sci-fi books written by Robert Jordan. It's all just
a series of detective steps.
