Actually, waste of time or not, I found this thread fascinating.
Just to set the record straight, no one can log into someone else's account without knowing the password. And the date of creation of that account does not change. Ever. There was no old account to be found and have the password "discovered".
Honestly, I have lost track of the twists in the story here, but there do seem to be some facts involved...

So, at what point were the "kid(s)" involved? From the start? Well honestly, if they were my kid(s), I would be proud that they were prowling the internet looking up my name, and then finding it being used as it was here, pretending to be "dad" and threatening the site admin with an attorney! Little darlings, aren't they?
And who exactly lives in Illinois?

Your cousin has the same name and lives in Michigan yet YOU live in Illinois and are tying into the net through an ISP in Michigan? But are you saying that it is your cousin who registered your account, since it states the registration location as "Michigan" (which has been verified via the IP address, no less)? Where do your children live? Michigan or Illinois? And which state were they in when they "hijacked" your account here?
But suddenly, you (the *real*YOU) DISCOVERS all this going on!

- 01-02-2007, 06:54 AM - After looking through my outlook late last night I noticed a printed thread with my name. I immediately confronted my son who I found ot has used my old password and username not only on this site but several others as well. What can I say he will be punished. I also want to say its been over 2 years since I ve been on this site and I do miss all of your knowledge and professionalism. I am a little upset that someone posted my personal information on the web and if it can be taken down i would appreciate it if it cant it cant. Sorry guys.
Obviously from the time stamp, you just on the spur of the moment before heading off for work that morning decided to turn on the computer and lo and behold you "discovered" what your naughty son had been up to! Not only is your son naughtly, but he was obviously able to conjure up a password and username that never EVER existed on this site. Is your son's name "Merlin" by any chance?
But wait! There's more! Suddenly your son becomes TWO:

I think it wise in the future that before some of you post sensitive information that could get someone into trouble you first make absolute sure that it is who it appears to be. I am requesting my personal information be removed ( I still love this site and am glad Im back). It does not bother me in the least if it is not, just a request to you to show your professionalism as well. I think ethically and morally it was a Rambo mentality. By the way they both love reptiles and at 13 are just boys. If we had computers when we were growing up Im sure we would not have been angels.
Thanks
Then it appears that "they" (meaning sons 1 and 2, or is it a son and your cousin from Illinois?) certainly must have stolen this username and password information from this site (that did not exist prior to three days ago) and took that information to other computers (which magically have the same IP address as the one in your home) in order to post here:

Well, I kind of lost track of the dance right around then. It kind of became much like watching a plucked chicken in a pool of sharks... Unemployed sharks, no less..

Obviously the WORST kind that there is in these waters.......
OK, I'm done........ This thread just started my new year off on the right foot....
But one last question, please. Is Uncle Attorney YOUR uncle or your son's uncle? And does he happen to be the father of the cousin in Illinois? Or was the cousin in Michigan and YOU and your son(s) are in Illinois?
