Your earlier ping talked about back in the good old days. Now you say you
are a newbie.
I have no clue which statement is true, but...
the very same reason you don't want your IP addy showing is the same reason
you never mention other groups. There are a lot of trolls, religious
zealots, LEA, quasi LEA types (self appointed helpers) and others who go
through groups hoping to find other groups to cause havoc in or worse. Some
of them are lazy and beg like wounded birds with their caps, exclamation
marks and question marks like:
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WILL SOME KIND SOUL *PLEASE* TELL ME SOME OTHER GROUPS
PLEASE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
2 suggestions.
Never respond to wounded birds and
Never give out group names
