    Has anyone thought...

    of looking for him on Facebook? Everyone's on Facebook, right? Or, failing that, G+.

      People use G+?

      (And rather than just pure sarcasm I'll just point out that I mean that semi-seriously...)

        Sort of. It's where Facebook users go when they want an undisturbed holiday.

          I signed up for Google+ 3-4 years ago because Facebook was starting to get too annoying with privacy related changes. You could always undo them, but the default was opt in which I hate as a default. Google seemed like a way to escape the evil, and maybe 10% of my Facebook friends went over there too.

          Thing was, no one ever used it, and then I realized Google was slowly becoming more evil than Facebook ever dreamed of, so now there is truly no reason to ever use Google+. And still no alternative to Facebook if you want a social networking site that isn't a 'niche filler' like Linkedin or Twitter...

    Abandoned his claim, has he?

    Sometimes someone who walks and talks like a scammer *is* a scammer.

    Mr. Ceglia was only trying to get his 15 minutes of flame.

    An ankle monitor that could be removed without also removing his foot is a pretty poor guarantee.

    The K2 will remove it... strange that a breach failsafe wasn't employed. If the circle is broken... All Points Bulletin!
