One must have a devious mind to excel at paranoia. One must be able to imagine all the possible harm others could inflict on one. Only then can one be truly prepared to protect one's self (or one's clients).

(Those were just general comments, and not an individualized observation.)

Perfect example. Last week I get into a shuttle bus with my wife, to get from the airport to my hotel. Some other guy gets into the shuttle, says he's going to the same hotel, and sits down behind us.

Now, I told my wife I didn't want to check-in to the conference right away. Since practically nobody knows me by sight, it might be the only time we have to spend together before I end up pigeonholed for the rest of the week.

On the way to the hotel, I call back to the office to pick up voice mail. The receptionist answers and I identify myself. In the back of my mind, I'm thinking, "I hope the guy behind us isn't going to the conference, since I just said my name."

I pick up my voice mail messages, hang up the phone, and this guy says, "Excuse me, I couldn't help hearing that you are John Berryhill..."

You never can be too paranoid.

(and, Chuck, MJ says "Hi")

John,
You need to develop a code name that only you & your secretary are privy to.
;-)

"I hope the guy behind us isn't going to the conference, since I just said my name."

It wasn't as bad as it could have been. (1) I kept your secret, as much as it hurt to do so, (2) I suppressed the overwhelming desire to whip out my camera phone and start taking photos, and (3) I don't think I even asked for any free legal advice, as much as I may need it.

But even for one as quiet and reserved as myself (at least until the second or third Scotch), keeping one's mouth shut in such a fortuitous circumstance isn't really an option.

Please give my regards to MJ.

For someone who cherishes anonymity, your "ALIEN" bit put you on the front page (you had to be there to understand) I LOVED it.

Code names ? Oh boy you opened the door wide open here . . . . . hmmmmm

Your receptionist wouldn't be able to identify you with a "this is John " ??
