Strange, I just went to log in to my Instagram account and someone is using my name "RDPipes" already and follows pipe makers and retailers.
Either its me and I can't get into it or its someone else keeping me from using my name. They have posted nothing, so it can't be me, there just holding the account.
Something stinks here.

The followers and those that account are following are almost all European accounts. I'd bet some European got your handle before you did. It's not a grand conspiracy. Just make a new account for yourself. Make it RonPowellPipes, or rdpipes1, or something. Put your website URL in your profile, call it done.

I did it as RDPipes1, doesn't matter cause I remember now it was Pinterest I had the account on and it seems I need to download some cockamamie AP to even post on Instagram, so I'll have to figure that one out cause I haven't a cellphone and am still using Win7 as an operating system on my desktop.
I hate this newfangled BS, why can't they just K.I.S.S. I have a hard enough time just posting and uploading photos and stuff to my own website and the forums. I'm a hardware man, not software.

Ya know, I may be old and have my quirks and may even be a little delusional at times but, I use a lot of logic when it comes to some things and when they don't make sense I'm cautious. And that's why I don't get much Spam but, one or two a year, never had a virus from a website or been hacked, etc.
And I also deserve the respect I hope you would give anyone that hasn't proven they don't deserve it sir. Yeah, I may be a little touchy about what is said to me but, that comes from years of putting up with the wrong kind of people. Like a proud man once said, " I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I require the same from them".

PM sent, Ron. I had no intention of disrespecting or offending you. |

The thing about logic is that its subjective.

I think you got some solid takes on your problem. Don't bring up your issues here if you don't want advice. If I have tech questions I go to Google or YouTube not a pipe board.  |

I agree with you, Ron...somebody messes with me or my family and they got many years of anger and frustration to deal with...don't piss off an old person...they got nothin to lose.
