This is what I do, too. It's how I found out someone had created a fake Twitter account using my name, my images, and my bio information. The only change was their location was West Virginia, and they posted tweets that had a lot of *numbers* in them. My real Twitter is Studebaker. They called theirs "Studebarke". Twitter took it down within a couple hours of a request for them to do so. There is still an "Account suspended" fragment hanging around out there on their website. Please be safe out there. It's not the same World we were living in 20 years ago. Toward both the good and the bad, the Internet has played a large part in that change. :) Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with birdseed *
