Do not call the number. That’s the main thing (because it is probably just one of those temporary numbers that is used to get your number should you choose to call it). I would say to forward the personal message to Doyle or either ignore it.
Please call…I promise not to tell anyone who you are.
Here is the problem if you unmask someone who is seeking to remain anonymous. If revealing who they are causes them to lose income, lose face, lose respect, lose a job or in a pastor’s case, lose a church, then you are most likely libel.Either pass the info on to me

Re: i have a question about unmasking
Old Timer, your career in country music has only just begun! Forgit tha song about tha tight britches. Here’s ya song. Why on earth are you callin Momma? (and what’s Momma doin on tha internet?)
Oh, and another thing. I kind of prefer the term outing rather than unmasking because unmasking indicates that the person is actually known but is just referred to a person A or person B or whatnot. On Acts, the people are not really known and masked; they are truly anonymous if they choose to be.
the names are masked by an ip address only. if Doyle and the boys wanted to they could unmask by tracing ip’s.
Yes, but when we’re talking about one poster and another poster (assuming that aprilmay is not doyle, lol), then the posters don’t have access to the ip addresses, and so when ordinary posters reveal someone’s personal info, it would be outing and not unmasking.Besides that, there’s the whole thing about using proxy servers to hide your ip address if you really want to be anonymous.
