- ikkepagrasset says: "Freaky. I believe this is why my parents attempted to instill in me a deep distrust of all internet communications." and she's right. I don't think we're ever going to be comfortable with our daughters talking on-line to people. Granted, it's only the huge losers that you hear about, but they seem to be out there.

- From the page: "Every morning of every weekday for 12 years, Thomas Montgomery punched in at the Dynabrade factory in Clarence, a small town in upstate New York. He strapped on his goggles and stood at his machine until the late afternoon, churning out components for power tools. After work, he walked the family dog, Shadow, and took his two daughters to swim practice. He became such a regular presence at the local swim club that he was named its vice president.

- Riveting reading. As I was reading this pathetic and sorry tale of online deceptions I kept mouthing the words: Oh no, Oh no... , Oh NO! The transcripts of the IM relationship is too embarrassing. Hard to believe the major culprits involved were two adults both married with children of their own, and in their forties. Come to think of it that is probably why the whole sordid affair began, a means of escapism. FROM THE PAGE: "Every morning of every weekday for 12 years, Thomas Montgomery punched in at the Dynabrade factory in Clarence, a small town in upstate New York.

He tried to be a good father and a decent husband to his wife of 16 years, Cindy. There were a few things he enjoyed -- poker night on Fridays with the guys, playing Texas Hold 'Em on Pogo.com, and the Dynabrade euchre tournament, which he dominated for two years in a row. For the most part, though, life was uneventful. Which may be why Montgomery looked at himself -- a 45-year-old former marine with a reddish mustache, bulging gut, and disappearing hair -- and decided to become someone else. That person, he wrote on Dynabrade stationery that he stored in his toolbox at work, would be an 18-year-old marine named Tommy. He would be a black belt in karate, with bullet scars on his left shoulder and right leg, thick red hair, and impressive dimensions (6'2", 190 pounds, and a "9" dick"). Emboldened by his new identity, Montgomery logged onto Pogo in the spring of 2005 and met TalHotBlondbig50 -- a 17-year-old from West Virginia, whose name, he later learned, was Jessica. He began instant-messaging "Jessi," who later also went by the handle "peaches_06_17," and the lies flowed easier with every press of the Return key. ...."
