| - | It's amazing what Google can do. Check [http://www.wayn.com/wayn.html?wci=viewprofile&member_key=267645 this] out. It probably shouldn't go on the page for privacy reasons, but it's interesting nonetheless. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 01:26, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

| - | :Oh, well done! Not sure if there's a privacy issue here, since it's a public profile. Hmmm, didn't we have a discussion about identifying email senders after H*Bad pretended to have sent one. Not sure what the outcome was.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 01:30, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

| - | ::The H*Bad discussion can be found at [[Talk:unnatural#This is my email]]. As for this one, I don't really know much about privacy issues and such. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 01:41, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

| - | ::::Aye, the sender was I. I know you'll all be wanting proof so here is my best shot at this. Here are two screenshots I took that hopefully shed light on this. I expect scrutiny on this and welcome it. I did black out the email addresses in my box for privacy reasons, as well as one letter in my personal email address. I present [http://users.eastlink.ca/~mannis/PDG/PDGEmail.JPG My Sent folder] as exhibit A.

| - | ::::As exhibit B, I present a Facebook message I received from someone else who looked up PlasticDiverGuy on Google. As I work evenings (see the timestamp in Exhibit A), I didn't read this until Monday afternoon. This [http://users.eastlink.ca/~mannis/PDG/PDG%20Facebook.JPG Facebook message] was how I found out about my email getting used.

| - | ::::For Exhibit C, I'll give you the story behind the email. To avoid possible privacy issues at work, I have not made it public on my Facebook profile yet, even with a wall post linking to the email. The smunderling involved does not watch H*R to my knowledge, as evidenced by his reaction to my The Cheat shirt one day recently. Once a few weeks goes by, there will be enough time passed that I can make up an alibi if anyone at work confronts me on it.

| - | ::::One of the employees on my team brought forward a concern to me that someone's stench was bothering her (heavy cologne). This was the first time I had to pull someone aside about this awkward issue, and thankfully my boss helped me through it. Later, a fellow manager asked me how the feedback went. The words tact and professionalism were used in this exchange (he was an English major). That night, when I got home, I had just visited H*R and thought to myself, "What would Strong Bad suggest?" I had addressed it that night in a highly awkward meeting and knew Strong Bad had to live with Strong Mad and had mentioned SM's smelly singlet in a prior email. On a whim, I sent the email. The email was written first. The final two additions were the catchy subject line (which took longer to write than the email), and the signature. I had planned on using my real name (see above link), but remembered that Annis (pronounced ANN-ISS) is easily mispronounced as "anus" and Strong Bad liked making fun of names. I signed off using the handle I have used for years, which is a reference to PBS' Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego. It was obscure enough to not be taken on Fark.com (Plastic Diver Guy there) so I ran with it. I currently play on the MSN Gaming Zone (usually poker) as PlasticDiverGuy (15 char. limit there so no spaces) and on the Neverwinter Nights server [http://www.arelith.com Arelith] as PlasticDiverGuy (also my forum name there). I used it on my WAYN profile for kicks. I haven't updated that in years. For those who are wondering where the blurb at the end about Opera's email client, I deleted that for the sake of saving space and TBC's time.

| - | Oh yeah, no worries about the privacy thing there with me personally. I'd just watch out for that in the future. - [[PlasticDiverGuy]]
