Apparently, this is a web site where you go to find out about a blogger and if there were any other people who may have information the blogger.

I post this just as a warning that the Kerry people are out there looking at us all...


*...I changed the actual web address to the web's home URL becuse the actual web address in my email listed six inquiries using my personal email address.

Hi David

Don't worry, and don't reply to these guys.

This is a well-documented internet scam which operates under many names. They send emails designed to raise your level of paranoia, then you have to pay fees to use their web site to find out what people are saying 'behind your back'.

If you reply to these emails or visit their web links, you will only get more spam from them.

They must be desperate to do stupid things like this. Let them. Freedom of Speech goes both ways, and the American Center for Law and Justice waters at the mouth for people like us who get hunted by liberals knowing the ACLU won't go after them. Smile Keep that in mind if anyone here is violated by any kerryites.
