Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Where You From?

Seems like just another step to go to and a lot of trouble just because you hate your name.

your really grasping at straws.....

The best state in the Union- OREGON!!! Yeah!
Ok, not really the best, maybe in the top 50 57 though.

Or not.

I'm not grasping at anything. Given enough time and knowledge most people of average intelligence could teach themselves via the internet, to look up your general location. Given that most people in the USA live in tightly packed urban areas, I don't know how much good it would do. Secondly, that's not a name which is what you'd need to find out more about them. Thirdly, like I said, an average person would have to have more than average computer knowledge to figure out how to PING somebody's IP and get the ISP location within five minutes. If they're advanced, they probably already know. Do you really think that over 10% of the population could teach themselves to look somebody up in five minutes? If you do, you're not as smart as I thought Sherman. Oops, [bleep] up your name. Now I'm gonna have "Movin' on Up" runnin' through my head the rest of the day.

yet your the one that said people have been trained not to give out personal info and location is some of the most personal.....i just pointed out if your [bleep] around on the internet on a forum like this its kinda pointless that its a big secret....aint any troll that truly pissed someone off on here yet that hasnt had their personal info posted up in pretty short order....if yah post regular anyone with half a brain will figure it out before long....

and if you can figure out any half arse combination of words to put in google you can come up with how to do the ISP stuff.....most wont bother but then ive seen some of the most paranoid idiots on the fire refuse to basic security chit cause learning it "takes to much time"....

and rattler aint my name on here cause i hate my name, its that on here cause at the time i signed up on here its the name i was using in a couple different chat rooms and forums and to make chit simple i kept it all the same.....beat explaining that my dad was a Civil War buff everytime someone new saw the name Sheridan just like happens most the time when i meet someone new in person.....given i was mostly on reptile sites at the time "rattler" needed no explanation....

dont hate my name, hell having a unique one means ive never had a hiccup in any background check ive had to go through be it a 4473 or state liquor and gambling licences or anything else...as far as i know im the only "Sheridan Shumway" in the country especially given my last name aint that common either.....

and you are grasping at straws trying to needle me with your comment above cause your a prick......that much is obvious to anyone that reads many of your posts....

Wasn't that a Jerry Clower bit?

Don't forget my Jack Russell Terrier called Bullet. He'll whoop yer butt if you forget him. Tough little character -- the dog. Here's what happened to the last moose that walked through our yard. Inside of a couple days, this is all that was left.

A question we Texans are advised never to ask.... [if he's from Texas he'll tell you, if he ain't, don't embarrass him]

With that said, I find it curious that quite a few members don't reveal a general location next to their screen name.

Are they just more important than the rest of us, you think?

I use littoral because it's where I spend the most of my time.

Is "Location" where you reside, where you have resided or where you are from, i.e., born and raised? My "Location" is where I reside, where I have homes.
