    [Samknows is the best tool available to Michael and that's what he uses. Do you expect him to not help people just because samknows isn't 100% accurate.

     Also I fail to see how submitting someone's postcode over the internet is a huge security risk at all.

    Did I say anything about not helping folk or not using the resource???? I urged caution as its database can get things quite wrong - No more and no less. As I've asked of you before, please learn to read what's in front of you before attempting to discredit others. And actually, it's not the best resource of this type that's available.

    If you can't see how advertising your postcode on a public forum is not a security risk then you need to take a look at the big bad world that exists outside that cosy little North Welsh shell of yours!

    I haven't bothered to look for your postcode but if it's available, I could pinpoint exactly where you live and then use several databases at my disposal to obtain your name, your girlfriends name and full details etc etc etc. Throw a little social engineering into the pot and I could easily become you as far as the outside world is concerned.

    Wake up and smell the lager! ;-]]

    This is not a dig at you in particular; it's an illustration to all of how careful you need to be.
