I noticed today for the first time (I'm sure its been there a while) that you can tweet a post out? And a few other networking sites. Is this true? Makes me uncomfortable posting here truthfully...thoughts anyone?

Well, you could be anyone, based on the scant info in your profile, unless you started referring to real places and used real names, the likelihood of anyone figuring out who you are is practically nil.

And probably a good idea to leave out any of the details, ime.

And definitely don't tell anyone-unless you trust that person with your life-that you're posting here.

Beyond that, the standard warnings, as found in the stickies referring to 'internet predators' would also add 'internet trolls', troll being a term that came into vogue along with/at the same time as terms like 'sock puppet'. This is the internet, anyone can come here and claim to be anything they want, so I try to take just about everything I read here-at least initially-with a grain of salt.

Thanks SJ, actually via my scant information, my AH figured out who I was here. I always logged out, but the site showed on my history. That reality is probably the main reason I am so vague here. Thanks for the thoughts/info. I'll check out the stickies too.
