trying to think outside of the box.
And keep doing that Tigg. All of us should spend a little more time exercising our brains outside of the "mainstream."

I suppose, for the truly critical, there is no way to guarantee that who you are talking to on a computer, cell phone texting, etc., is really that person. If vendors are going to sell via internet and be able to "prove" that they ID'd the buyer, how are they to do that? How do you know who he heck this Fuzzy Thunderbear person is? Because I have been on this thread for a year, how do you know that who is typing this right now is the same guy? If I had kids, how would you know it wasn't one of them using my computer? My credit card? My driver's license? You don't, so is this another way the FDA intends to entrap vendors? If I walk into a B&M, they can look at me and at the picture on my license (without photocopying my license) and determine that's who I am. Of course, even then, I might be carrying a fake driver's license just for such purposes. OK, OK, I am an oldt phart and one look at me and they'd "know" I was over 18, but play along. How do you know I am not an alien from the star system Antares? Do we require a blood draw and dna test? How far can this crap go before someone admits that their true purpose to to shut down all internet sales of anything they don't want you to have?

Any of you have logical suggestions?

Wow what a morning about 10 min before I left the house the power went out, so I had to find candles and flashlights for David and the girls to get ready for school and work... They just text me and said its still out. Then I leave so early I never catch traffic but this morning the road was so backed up and when I got closer to the interstate I saw cops everywhere and the interstate was closed off so I had to take the long way to work :( hopefully this is no indication of how the rest of my day will be

"THEY" are trying many, many ways to stop the sale and use of vaping products. And by "THEY", I mean Big Tobacco . They are, and should be, scared witless!

Good morning all. I guess I still do not get it. If I go to Amazon and want to order something I have to sign up, there is a process to it, including a credit card number. Yes we have hashed that one before, some places want my credit card number, a partial on the ssn, my address, zip code and even a recording of me saying my name. If my voice isn't deep enough I guess the ssn is good. Really of all the identity stolen from me, the SSN number was safe. Used more by business' to conduct business, and verify who and therefore the age of consent. Veteran cards?

What is good for the goose is good for the gander, if you politician's will not be sensible to vape related internet sales, have them ban all the others, I am sure the big companies would fight back and say no, that would hurt their sales........

8/9 - 1

Anybody can walk into Wal-Mart/Rite-Aid/Walgreens and buy a VISA gift card for online purchases (that's what I used to do) - no age limit, so that can't be used to verify age.

If they want your driver's license, scan it and then black-out critical info using a graphic editing program (even Microsoft Paint). Save it as a jpeg and then send that. If they want it faxed, fax the jpeg using a free online-fax service. Mississippi uses a random-assigned number now instead of your SSN on the driver's license, but I would still black that out. All that's left is your address and picture, but that's available to anybody already.

If they want a SSN, even a partial, that is a definite "no go".

8/9 - 2: Almost time to run, but one more thought Fuzzy. Number your posts, if you are selected, you can still PIF to another right? Why limit yourself completely, and what happened to asking the newest person of ECF here? Oh so GMO may need an addendum to the :rules:, probably should state something about known states that are no good under the Nazi system.
Did I type that? {urkle}

Good morning, everyone.

I'm going to turn on the heat and start season 5 of GOT.
You are so lucky. We've been on the list for Season 5 for several months now--and my wife checked a few days ago and said that we still have a lot of people ahead of us. :(

If I had kids, how would you know it wasn't one of them using my computer?
That's right! I hereby declare that any post of mine that you find not to be filled with wit and immeasurable charm to be the product of my 8-year-old son! :laugh:

Still thinking of you and your daughter, @diabolique.

I would loan my copy if I could but it is a 3 week loan and not renewable.
But as soon as I finish season 5 it will be a long wait for season 6 to be available.
Rather like waiting for the next season of Walking Dead to be available on Netflix.
