Just to assist you (or anyone else interested in the matter),

It was shown to me by a chap who knows computers inside out. He was showing
me where I had been from his computer. On many of the sites I subscribe to
it is quite easy to see who is visiting, how many have visited and how many
have made postings and I remarked that on newsgroups this was not possible.
He explained and showed how it could be done and he had already picked up
on my recent posting on Mirabel and Michael Osler, went in and showed who
had visited and when and left their 'footprint', he then identified some of
them.

**** The frightening part was when he went into one persons computer
**** because they happened to be on line at the time, and read what they
were
**** doing. Their security was NIL!!!

As with all computer nerds, his fingers were across the keyboard putting
codes in so fast I could never remember them, so I wouldn't know how to get
in again.

**** However I will ask him to write it down because I am curious.

Will report back as and when I know something.
