Strange phone call this morning...

Why? No. I'll not do that. It would serve no purpose to harass him, and is certainly a greater offense than his calling me at quarter to ten. He's done me no harm, and if he never calls me again I see no reason not to simply let it slide.

I guess he's on his way over then.

Then he should've been here before now. I guess he got lost.

If you're lucky maybe he'll stay lost.

It took less than that to convince to use an alias online.

I do not want to deal with all the hassle that follows from culling the gene pool of idiots.

Yep. My last name is rare enough that it'd take about 5 minutes with a phone book for any old looney to start making harassing calls to my house. I don't worry about the regulars, but there are plenty of lurkers and kooks around. The irritation just isn't worth it.

That, and there's no particular reason not to use an alias- for all I know, every name on here is an alias, and some just look more like real names than others. Doesn't make a bit of difference to me if I know people by their handles or their given names.

BTW, hope this nonsense amounts to nothing, Doug and Ed.

Thanks. I imagine it won't come to anything. As I said, I doubt he'll show up here from three states away, but if he does we're able to protect ourselves.
