An update:

- He apparently located me from a federal election contribution record and my mediocre screen name. He said it only took five minutes. That's the main reason I made the post above.
- Since that record cannot be changed, I suggested my only option was (have the mods) delete my account on PP
- the guy removed his posts as did I
- I called him a "wimp" because he claimed that he knew better than a very seasoned engine builder I know and wouldn't admit that he'd only rebuilt one engine. Turns out he actually had a great deal of experience but didn't want to admit it for some reason. So it goes...
- What I said was wrong, and as stated above, I would never have done so in person. I felt like I was defending someone else, and I let my emotions get a hold of me. I think this is a first for me in my 8 years at PP.
- While I have not now, nor ever have been a victim of identity theft, I got a taste of it last night and that's not pretty. Shocking actually. Especially as someone called my house based on the phone number in the post and started telling my son how wrong I was.
- I do know this is Wayne's site and I am very grateful for it. I will not be doing any name calling in the future.

Live and learn. I learned last night that he interwebs know I'm 50 - still trying to get that learning thing down....
