Wholly Fark is this true!!!

[Skip]

Dude you are on the internet. It's to late.

Nah not true. I have been diligent about keeping tabs on my info. I don't shop online nor do I release info readily. My memberships to websites such as this are protected as best as possible. Barring a hack and subsequent dissemination of info I am pretty well protected. My email addresses and screennames vary widely and do not contain first name or surname. I do not give credit agencies, credit card companies, retail companies, or any other group who would ask my email address so that name and email address are not linked unnecessarily. I rarely give a phone number. If they don't need it why give it? Heck I have cordless phones in the house and make the many different customer service people come up with a better way to identify me other then my SS number. Even the last four over the line is a problem and I will not do so. If thats their only way to identify me I say goodbye. Heck most of the places who ask "Where do you live?" get "Planet Earth" instead of the town. :lol:

If you are diligent about it you can minimize your exposure. But you need to be proactive or, as the lazy people who willingly give up have said to me, paranoid. That is why I called the KCBS immediately when I found out my name was available on their website. Minimize the risk.

I have!

Wow thats ballsy. So you have to apply for a spot and then follow up to see if you got the spot? Does this person have mechanisms in place to facilitate the self confirmation process? Are you forced to contact them and hope they pick up only to wait for an eternity while they search their list to see if you are on it? I wonder what percentage of CBJ's that get.

Man, I am not even getting mixed up in this stuff. If you can believe it, my boots aren't high enough... . Jorge would be so proud.

I'm with Ford, getting some chili and beers and watch the game. Also watch Pitmasters.

It's the new me. I am focusing my attention on other more ridiculous topics....

 

[Skip]

I just read this whole thread.

ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?

Nope :lol: Oh wait that was rhetorical. :mrgreen:

I had no idea that Ice Station Zebra had so many people trapped inside!

And Ernest Borgnine just farted. Get us out of here!!!

As of today I think I'll increase my annual donation to this site, in the hopes that we can obtain a time share in the Bahamas, in order to give those that require it some time to quit climbing walls.

Will it be available to pot stirrers too? :wink:

Im glad you sleep at night believing what you just wrote. I will say it again. Dude, you are online, and you also have an email address. Like it or not, believe it or not...your info is out there just like everyone elses to be harvested if someone wants to.

You just admitted that your email address was on a list that was on a website. Well the internet has a funny way of remembering things like that. And even though you think its gone, its not.

Didn't say it wasn't there just said it was not readily available to the general public. My info isn't out there just like everyone elses. I make sure not to drop my email on every site I go to I refrain from becoming part of lists. I make up names and use throwaway emails for gaming sites and the like. My main email address is actually under another persons account which further distances me from it, even if it weren't the company that controls it would need to be hacked, the info taken and then distributed to someone who could compile it and spit it back out on the net. If I worried about that I'd worry about getting on a plane without passing through a scanner. I use a nickname outside of work so linking the two names would be necessary to put together a full picture. To say my info is as easily available as someone who has public profiles like facebook and the like is false. I'm not denying that somewhere in the bowels of the internet my information is just waiting to be consolidated into a profile but for now it would require a lot of due diligence to compile.

I found as an organizer overbook because people will forget and double book or if they have nothing invested not show up . I know as a competitor I was furious one time at a contest when at 845 an announcement was made that we need 6 volunteers to judge being at the time a backyard competitor I knew where they would be placed.

 

[Rookie'48]

..... In fact I have never heard an organizer requiring the judge to apply and then confirm their application.

I have had it happen like that & I kinda like it, it shows that the organizer is trying to stay on top of things. I have also sent in an app to judge a couple of months beforehand, heard nothing back, called the contact person and heard "Huh? I don't see your name here, you must not be judging." Good thing that I didn't drive 150 miles or so before I found out!

 

[BBQ Grail]

What about keeping a list of organizers who keep lists of judges?

I am keeping a list of people who are keeping lists of list keepers.

EDIT: I am also checking it twice.

Uh-OH.

Trouble abound in our own backyard.
