TO EVERYONE;
 
MY SECOND POSTING GOT A MUCH BETTER RESPONSE.  IT'S AMAZING HOW SEX IN A
TITLE SELLS.
 
ANYWAY,  I WILL GO AHEAD WITH THE SURVEY SINCE TO THIS POINT I HAVE RECEIVED
ABOUT 20 AFFIRMATIVE REPLIES.
 
I WILL BE PUTTING IT TOGETHER OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS.  I'M WAITING FOR
3  REASONS- 1- TO HAVE THE TIME TO DO A GOOD JOB (HOPEFULLY), 2- TO GET
SUGGESTED AREAS OF INTEREST FROM ALL OF YOU AND 3- TO ALLOW EVERYONE TO GET
BACK FROM VACATION.
 
I ALSO WILL BE ASKING SOME DEMOGRAPHIC QUESTIONS FROM EVERYONE-  I WANT TO
GET AS MANY REPLIES AS POSSIBLE SO THAT, EVEN REPLIES THAT SAY THAT THEY ARE
NOT RESPONDING TO THE REST OF THE SURVEY TO GET SOME IDEA HOW MANY OF THE
900 OR SO SUBSCRIBERS ARE ACTUALLY  READING THE POSTINGS AND ARE WILLING TO
PARTICIPATE ACTIVELY .
 
I NEED QUESTIONS, AREAS OF INTEREST, ESPECIALLY IN THE AREA OF FEMALE ISSUES
AND PARTNER ISSUES (THERE PROBABLY WILL BE AT LEAST A SHORT QUESTIONAIRE FOR
PARTNERS) AND ANY COMMENTS YOU HAVE TO MAKE THIS WORTH SOMETHING.  IF YOU
ARE CONCERNED ABOUT ANONIMITY EVEN AT THIS POINT YOU CAN CONTACT ME by
direct e-mail, through Barb Patterson (although she will know the source I
won't),  Via the annonomous server in Finland-  (see below) or via postal mail.
 
MY ADDRESS is 318 ACADIA DR.,  MADISON, WI 53717

re THE ANNONOMOUS SERVER
 
THIS POSTING FROM GARY ZIMMERMAN GIVES INFO REGARDING THE ANONOMUS SERVER
****************************************************************************
************
From: Gary Zimmerman <[log in to unmask]>
Subject:      anon
 
 Barbara, I'm not a heavy heavy Internet user, but I do consider myself
 moderately familiar with it and it's culture (or lack thereof ;-)
 
 Re: anonymous mail for delicate subjects
 
 The anonymous mail server (probably the one you spoke of): anon.penet.fi
 has been around for some time, and is probably the most frequently used
 anonymous mail server on the Internet for posting anonymously.  In this
 respect, it's fairly "respectable" and I would say it's pretty secure.
 
 If you used it to threaten the President of the US, I imagine that our
 Secret Service could legally or ethically force the list owner in Finland
 to hand over the pertinent files, but discussions of sex and Parkinsonism
 probably won't interest many folks except those in the discussion.
 
 Unlike sending mail to you, Barb, and having you strip out the headers,
 the attraction of using a real "anonymous mail server" might be that the
 anonymotization (is that a word?) is done automatically, so there's no one
 who actually sees the sender's name in conjunction with the message - it's
 stripped out automatically.
 
 In any case, for those interested, they can send a blank message to:
 [log in to unmask]
 You don't need to put any subject for the mail message either.  Just a
 blank message to that address will get you all the information.
 
 You'll receive a message with anything you need to know to send mail
 anonymously.  Sending mail anonymously is easy - you just send the message
 to the server in Finland and at the top of the message include the real
 address of who you want the message to go to in a special line that looks
 like:  X-Anon-To: real.addressee.here
 
 For added protection, you can use a password to prevent others from
 sending mail as you, like if you step away from your computer.
 
 You'll also receive in the help message some good warnings about the
 security of email, as were your warnings, Barbara.
 
 Email is not secure. Email is not secure. Email is not secure.  But
 neither is postal mail, nor anything else short of speaking to someone
 face to face.  On the other hand, there aren't lots of folks out there
 with nothing better to do than spy on email, and those that do are pretty
 pathetic individuals anyway - I doubt they'll be looking for mail of
 Parkinson's folks just waiting to blackmail you.  Keep things in
 perspective, but understand the inherent risks.
 
 Anyway, anonymous mail is available for those who might find that a more
 comfortable way of remaining fully anonymous.  Just try not to threaten
 the President  :-)
