The profile for that Twitter account has a broken link:

http://www.en2go.com

It is common for celebrities to be impersonated on Twitter, and this is not a verified account.

John Draper is a security expert. His MySpace page has a video of him talking about how to avoid getting scammed online. Surely he understands the need to establish his identity before asking for money online. Yet, I don't see any mention of this situation on his website.




en2go web site was shut down months ago. The investors shut down the company in July. So yes, en2go is en2gone.

The reason why I haven't been able to put the link on my website, has been due to my disability, and huge amounts of response I'm having to answer.

My webmaster, maintaining Webcrunchers.com is going to be putting up the links. Plus, since I have not gone through my wiki entry, I have not been able to make any additions to that as well. In actuality, other people have put up this wiki, with my blessing of course. Since I just located and found my webmaster, we're going to make these corrections as soon as possible.

There's a lot going on my life right now, in spending a lot of time doing research on my condition, finding and interviewing doctors, I found someone who I trust who is willing to perform open surgery on my neck.

However, there are other institutes out there that do non-invasive surgery using endoscopic treatments. I have interviewed and looked into one local outfit, and they charge $25,000 for the treatment, but unfortunately after looking at my MRI, denied my request for treatment due to the severity of my condition. I have several others I am investigating, and I have to be careful not to raise more money than I need, and if I exceed that, I have to return it.

Anyway, I hope that my webmaster will find the time to go in and fix it tonight.

NOTE: This is a repeat on what I said above, I tried to edit it because Mac Speech had some errors I missed. The owners of hacker news should be notified I updated, after editing, the update button was presented, I pressed it, it returned back to editing, did it again, and it still didn't seem to accept it, so I submitted a revised message.


To unkink your neck, hang upside down and pull on your hair or wear a heavy helmet.


Actually, that was one of the physical therapists treatments. But I don't hang upside down, use a pulley with a strap around my neck, going up over the doorway, with a water bag for weight. Recommended weight: 25 pounds. It feels pretty good, but it doesn't get rid of the pain in my hands. I have very little muscle control and my fingers right now, this nerve has to be released soon, or I'll lose all muscle control in my fingers.

Now I have to get back answering mail, I have a lot of mail to catch up on.

Suggestion: donate any excess money to a well-regarded charity, perhaps one associated with your condition. I'm sure most people donating will be as willing, if not more willing, to donate if you tell them this up front.


If I receive more money than needed. I will contact each and every donor, and asked them if they want it returned. Simple as that. It's only fair. I know Who you are. I know much you donated, and will happily pay that back if it's not needed.

The most out-of-pocket expense I have is post surgery care or, other costs not covered by Medicare. I will say this, Medicare does not cover everything. I can assure you that. You'd be surprised at how many clinics are not covered by Medicare. And I've heard nothing about Obama care, even if that exists.


To whomever downvoted this: care to say why you think this is a poor idea?
