Subject: Re: Re: Directory of old computer collectors
Hi Jim,
Anybody that is paranoid about telling their location and the computer
dinosaurs running in their basement needs a head alignment.
It seems that you are suggesting people are worried about their collections
being attractive to thieves. Well, that may be true for the lucky few, but
for me it is simply about coordinates for identity theft and other kinds of
criminality.

Rob
Rob hit the nail.
I think the collection has limited value at best and likely only a few
select pieces.
However, To make the point to someone I showed them what they put on
the net and then
compiled it into a picture of who, what, and even when. They
immediately stopped posting
all their daily activities and much of the personal stuff.
In my case if you can't figure out where I am from a ham call your
beyond hope
and unlikely to be a risk.
