Call me a skeptic!

I'm a bit of a skeptic when it comes to stuff like this. The internet makes it easy for someone to be somebody they're not. I could submit my e-mail as tiger_woods@gmail.com but I doubt anyone would take it seriously. If it was the real Mr. Woods he would use a bland and uninteresting e-mail that wouldn't raise awareness as to his real identity. If it were indeed the Fort Hood shooter who subscribed to ME Forum then Mr. Pipes should definitely consider it to be a feather in his cap. As a precaution though, anything posted to the web ought to be given the skepticism it so richly deserves. The naive and foolish are not needed to add to this confusion!
