everyone here is basically an anon, unless they foolishly give out personal information (i don't think hershy has done such), or unless the admin wants to look at your IP. even if he/she does, what they can do with that information is fairly limited. financial hackers target entire IP ranges and it doesn't matter if you anonymously post in forums. they only care about vulnerabilities and weak passwords. personally, i think it's an unecessary risk to keep any financial information on one's computer, but i'm definitely a minority on that front.
... but that's not why i responded the way i did. IT'S HERSHY'S CHOICE as to whether he posts what his payments are and TBH, i have no interest at all in what his payments are. i responded because it irks me to see people have to ask permission for such trifles from their spouses. it's an issue i have with modern western society, so hershy, if you're reading, it's nothing personal towards you. you're just one of many.
finally Shinare... i'm not going to follow this thread down the anger well. get your digs in if you must but i won't be reading them. -unsubscribed-

Don't want to read that you are contradicting yourself within your own post, eh ?
You quoted the bible re judgement. Shinare,, obviously, was just making a reference to YOUR previous comment (which, I agree with Shinare, was snide) and standing up for/defending Hershey, not intending his comment to be snide.
You fail to see that, within your own post, expressing that it irks you "to see people ask permission for such trifles from their spouses" as you did IS a judgement, and IS, on its face, disrespectful to Hershey. IMO, and I imagine the opinion of others, Hershey has built up a lot of credibility within this forum, and that is just one of the reasons members called you to task/defended him. The fact that, in your 'final' reply above, mention to Hershey that it is 'nothing personal', indicates to me that you KNOW your original comment came off as a personal affront.
Members buy things from other members, and there is a section for local groups to post about meetings, so everyone is not 100% anonymous.
I've said my peace
