This matter is discussed in a recent alt.horror.werewolves.article which is

titled: "Re: Guess what folks... U-Haul says I think I am a werewolf!"  I
do
recommend that you go there and read the whole thread, it is so surreal.
These are her own remarks in article  <7E1b0kREjTJC092yn@pop3.afn.org>:

                                                         * begin repost *

wtf:   As a matter of fact, yes.  I had one of the net.kooks (Robert
"S.oiled
wtf:   P.anties" Byrd) find my werecard, and try to use the fact that I'm a
wtf:   windigo in a human body against me (to make me sound like a lunatic)
wtf:   on the net.abuse groups.

wtf:    I was actually very open on it, explained that my inner child is a
windigo
wtf:     (not a werewolf, as he claimed), the main thing I hunt right now
is the
wtf:    accounts of spammers, and I find my therianthropy much helps my
instincts
wtf:    in spammer-hunting. ;)

                                                            * end repost *

The explanation of her instincts in spammer hunting is especially
instructive.

Hope this answers your question.
