They know your name - big deal! Going to bring down a government, is it? Think that's going to make it possible for an axe murderer to locate your address and chop down your front door to get at you? Get a life. It's very easy to find out where someone lives - you mention your name in one post, another time you mention the area where you live. Put that info into one of many websites, or CDs given away free on the covers of PC magazines, and you can find someone's address very easily. Someone I used to know ended up having a weirdo turn up on his doorstep one day demanding to borrow a tape he'd mentioned he had on the Dr Who RT forum. You don't know who's reading, and there's a reasonable chance that some of the people looking in could be freaks - especially on a forum related to cult TV shows!

The secret is not to mention where you live then! That's apart from the fact that it says clearly 'no handles' here. It says that for a reason. Quite righly so. Thats the administrators not doing their job though. As Laurence says though who's really reading this site any more?

Sorry to get back to the original subject, but we've got a film copy in the NFTVA which came to us from the BBC. It is unlikely to see the light of day again because I can't imagine the Gibbs would ever permit it to be seen in public it's that bad.

Mike Hunt? Sounds like a Viz Euphemism to me. As do the rest of the names of the one person that posts here. Who actually reads this irrelevant rubbish?

Thanks Pam for the conformation of the contents. I would presume Mr Mansfield has his own copy as well?
