   If I could only tell you the story ... I'm pretty sure the police obtained   
   my cellphone signals for a month on either side of a certain date of an   
   event which first made local news and then was spread (mostly by copying   
   since there wasn't any new data) to around the country, so, I had my "two   
   minutes" of fame as an "anonymous RP"  (the police refer to me as the RP   
   for some reason).   
      
   It's interesting how the story spread - where everyone just copied the   
   information (both accurate and inaccurate) - but the local news had it   
   almost right since they talked to me and to the police afterward.   
      
   I can't tell you the details, but they asked questions which, had I   
   answered wrong, they would have known, because they *knew* the time and   
   place where I was in the middle of nowhere at those times.   
      
   Let's see what happens when/if it ever gets to court. They have the guys on   
   something else right now.   
      
   But that's for another place and time (maybe I'll tell Jeff - who certainly   
   heard the news - but he's probably the only one I'd tell *exactly* what   
   happened).   
      
   The net is that it's a good idea to get really good at removing the battery   
   or trusting airplane mode so that your cellphone doesn't tell the police   
   (or the bad guys) *everywhere* you've been in the past months...
