A coupla' years ago, there was an ongoing thread regarding the "know your
neighbor" crap.
Someone, Anonymous if memory serves, posted a rather eloquent address on
what he could reasonably be expected to reveal regarding crimes he was a
witness to, but how his memory would fail more and more, the further and
further questions deviated from what was relevant to any crime that had
been witnessed.
A scenario described, a next-door neighbor "Joe" and the lady who lived
there with him. Was the lady his wife? Dunno, haven't seen a marriage
certificate. Was "Joe" really "Joe"'s name? Dunno, haven't seen birth
certificates or other forms of ID. What does "Joe" do for a living?
Dunno, I go to my own job in the morning, don't follow Joe to his.
That sort of thing.
If anyone remembers this, has it archived or knows just what the url is at
inet-one, I'd be much obliged, I've been searching for an hour and can't
find shit. I thought I had it saved on my hd, too.
