not sure what's going on.. but i just posted a comment and it showed up in the thread as being by "weary" (post #17 in the thread about the Sri Chinmoy Yarra Boulevard Half Marathon 07, 16 September.
i can also read PMs sent to weary.
i am also seeing IP numbers next to each post number.

YOU'VE GOT A POTENTIAL MAJOR PRIVACY ISSUE going on here, as well as potential for malicious posting under other people's names.

regards rohan

ps. if for some reason, this also gets posted under the name of "weary"... well it wasn't. it was me, rohan.... truly... how did i get trapped in someone elses identity???  aaarghh! this is messing with my head.

P.S Rohan you are the runner in the coolrunning top and not so cool shorts :)

Dear Rohan (formerly known as weary),

Now your super powers have gone.

You may wish to look over at the Highjackers page and my last posting :)

About what exactly... put it to me and I'll do so. :D

If you present facts that are not disputed would you then say you were wrong.

If you give training advice which has worked for you, can it be disputed when you have the runs on the board and the other person hasn't fulfilled potential?

If you relate a personal experience you can only admit being wrong if you lied, or had amnesia.

If you have an opinion/view about a side of a debate.. that is your own opinion, be it about  social, political or religious issues.

Why do people get so precious when others actually believe in what they are arguing about.? :)

rohan - thanks for being so honest. I am not totally sure what happened. I have replied to your support ticket (it did work and that's the best way to raise stuff with us). I am still checking the vendor website to see how it could have happened. It has happened once before to someone else. I have tightened up some security settings designed to reduce open sessions and logon authentication. There are more that I can do, but its a bit of a trade off - if we make it too tight it causes other issues elsewhere.

Thats stretching the friendship a bit far to suggest I might join the labour party.
Shouldn't that be Labor Party??

At Last!  now I understand about all those weird posts in my name that weren't really me.  Those ones that upset Cato and Bristol City FC. and nearly cost me my membership of the HR Nicholls Society (Hufflepuff branch).

I was nearly going to announce my retirement halfway through next term here on Coolrunning, but I thought no one would believe it was me, so I did it on the 7.30 Report.


I hope this message isn't tampered with by those Chasey blokes.
