Since others have brought up their concerns like they did here, I will give the answer Rueben gave to the question on EXACTLY what he was looking for to get access...

"I just want a real name, first and last. It is not too much to ask for

and I am the one also have trepidation as to what has happened in the

past. It is a matter of honor and trust. Yes, I ask for the phone info

and address. But I won't get my shorts in a bunch if I see "fake" info

like all 2's for the number or some address like Main St USA. I do not

even ask for email addresses. For those that are my customers that

information is located in my Quick Books Pro and that is for business

related mail, like sending the invoice, etc.

Everyone who logs in here has an email address. If I login as

Joe Shmuck the my email address will be Joe.Shmuck@rdfig.net. So that

is how I contact the users here. So tell them please real names, no

foul words or play on words. Give info like it asks from where, just

say from HOME. Nothing drastic and nothing that will affect the

sensibilities of others.

I keep a relatively clean and upright board. I have been in BBS'ing

since 1987 and running a BBS since 1991. You do not keep running a bbs

for that long if you are not an upright straight shooter.

I guess you can tell them all that. If they want more assurances they

can email me at rdfigsupport@rdfig.net or call my cell at 214-682-1129.

Just remind them I run a business to support this bbs and I will not do

anything to jeopardize my board or my business. "

So hopefully that helps elaeviate some worries.
