A few things come to mind.
With the 'anti-cons' idea - did you ever watch the Max Headroom TV show ("Max Headroom - 20 minutes into the Future"). There, they had a world run by a few media giants and it was illegal to turn off the ubiquitously placed TV's.
I keep a low profile on the internet, don't answer phone surveys (from cold-calling strangers, no less), or tell anyone anything they cannot show a need to know*. One difference I do, in maintaining my non-bloody-chum status is hiding my trees in a forest. My age, gender, family makeup, and everything else vary from site to site where I am forced to enter it to get what I want. My tree is hidden in the forest.
Even for election polling, basically I give an angry lecture on the fact that we have a secret ballot in this country and it's none of anyone's business who I plan to vote for.
You and I sharing commonalities. Who'da guessed? Or was it, from our often sharp interactions, obvious?
* Perhaps this reply violates that principal?

"hiding my trees in a forest" ... I really like that analogy ! Yes, I was a "fan" of the Max Headroom series back then ... in the late 1980's ... while my little career as a PostScript "guru" took off, finally getting me to nirvana at Adobe Systems where they were confused enough to deign me a "computer scientist" 
"You and I sharing commonalities. Who'da guessed? Or was it, from our often sharp interactions, obvious?"
Well, I have always depended on strange kindness (Blanche DuBois did not say on her way to the mental hospital), and it wouldn't surprise me if we were bound by some strange attractor that amuses itself with our peccadilloes as it dances us in contextual polarity
cheers, Bill

Already a simple "innocent" click on the lingerie ladies picture-ads on a web page haunts me for days (if I forget to clear the cache) by making these ladies appear in some other sites in the ad widgets - when my mates are watching my screens. Throws me to bad blushes! Can't think about the advanced ones

I suspect this will evolve into the modal cause of homicide by about 2030.

Start by paying attention to where you are.
Look at the top of this page, and you will see it says:
Technical discussions are encouraged, but click here to ask your programming question. But you didn't did you...
Ask your question in a suitable place: http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/ask.aspx[^]
But...just posting your error message with no detail is like calling the garage, saying "my car broke" and putting the phone down. You are going to be waiting a long time for them to arrive where you are (they don't know), with the right parts for your car (which they don't know), to fix a problem you haven't told them about!
So tell us what the problem is: when does it occur? What code is executing? How do you cause it?
Otherwise, you will wait a long time for a helpful reply...

You could start by NOT posting tech questions here and try Quick Answers[^] instead. I heard they're helpful there. But only when it's a full moon during the months[^] of Sip, Xul and Mol

Your database servers hard drive is damp and is causing sticktion in the lock. You need to bake it in your oven for 30 minutes at 350F (175C); and then immediately cool it back to normal by plunging it into a bath of Liquid Nitrogen.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Looks like a genuine victim.
Welcome to CodeProject! Quite many don't watch out for forum guidelines when they make their first post. So you haven't. That's okay! You can move this to a technical forum. How? Delete here and re-post there in SQL Forum  . Click[^]

When you said this, I thought he's at least a dozen messages in his account. But man, it's just very second one!. In fact, his first in a forum. The other one being a feedback to an article.
Thought we could show some mercy, but the looong question just vetos itself out!
