Pete M Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 we'd like to give credit to him for collecting up some great data. I think his name might be Ken? https://jeepcomanche.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrawombat Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Neat site - read a few of the articles and learned some new factoids. He's got a link to CC so I'm guessing he's lurking around here somewhere... Quick history lesson on internet blogs - you used to be able to easily dig up the user ID of blog authors by viewing the source code of the webpages and looking for a particular string of code that could at least get you to their profile. From there you could at least establish some form of contact with the author, but I tried it on this blog and that old method doesn't seem to work anymore. I'm guessing they made it more difficult to do detective work and track down the author as I know some of the blogging sites were getting a lot of complaints from the anonymous internet tough-guys who would blog a bunch of controversial garbage that really had no place other than to get readers stirred up. Those bloggers would generally remove any way for readers to contact them, but once the little detective trick I described was discovered people would oust the author and flood their e-mail inbox. This made the internet tough guys angry because they thought their identity was a secret. Oh well, freedom of speech I suppose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
