Wha ? ?
Angel isn't my real name FYI. But it HAS been by nickname for the longest time.
I "personally" don't "hide", I made the CHOICE NOT to release my real name to just
any Tom, Dick, or nickname. I am not paranoid, but the internet IS the internet.
It is and will not ever be 100% secure. And I am sure I am not the only one who feels
this way, nor will I be the last, and I've been "burned" before. Once burned twice
shy, & nothing to
hold against me either.
Yes, this list IS a legit and good one but: I found your comments were rude and
uncalled for regarding
your prejudice againt people on this list who do not use their real name.
You may just be missing out on some very informative stuff and useful information from
these people.
You see, just because I choose to use a nickname instead of my real one doesn't mean I
have
less to offer or that I am wasting anyones time.
You want my real name? This is the internet..so get to know me..let me get to know
you. When
*I* feel comfortable with you, you might know my name. Otherwise, this is a LIST, on
the INTERNET,
no one person really gets to "know" EVERYone, so I prefer to use my longtime nickname.
So I proudly introduce myself:
I am Angel. Greetings to those who are new to the list, nice to see you here..
and a *wave* to those who have already "read" me.
And if the fact I don't use my real name on this list goes against list rules? I am
sorry.. &
I'll resign from it. :(
Apologies for the long post, or if it offended anyone or got anyone angry. I just had
to say
something in defense of myself (and possibly others..) seeing as how we are treading
these waters.
I'm not hiding, I'm not "out for anything", I'm here to read and learn and possibly on
occasion
help regarding the best email program out there IMPO. That's all :D
Regards,
~~~Angel ...your RDR
