So when you create a Microsoft file (e.g. PowerPoint) it saves the personal info on your pc as the author of that file.

All you have to do is check the properties of that file for who the author is...

2k1Toaster, you were on the right track.

Thanks Adam
p.s.
I could have found the phone number but it would have cost me $9.00 so I left that one alone.

benedums has been paypal'd.

I hope everyone had fun, and I got the security test I needed. I wanted to know if a motivated adversary could find me the way I have been able to find so many trolls over the years. I had tried to find myself but I had a vested interest in being unsuccessful, so I decided to go this route.

Fired, really? That seems a little harsh. How did they justify the firing? There are people at work I can talk about them with, but they definitely have to go through a vetting process before I will open up about it

He was working for a university, talking with a student about getting 2" groups with an AR15. They were in a computer lab, some student who probably had never even seen a gun before complained. He was fired for "discussions of violent acts" and "creating a hostile environment for students" or something to that effect.
