Iโ€˜d like to know: Do you use your real name on other Social Media instances? How do your comments differ from the ones you make public from those ones made anonymous?

Regardless of the account, anonymous or not, I assume that my identity will be revealed and post accordingly. I've been doing so since I first posted on the internet in 1990.

Not for nothing, the same is true for email and any other form of (electronic) communication.

Do I make mistakes? Absolutely! Have I regretted making a post or comment? Over the years perhaps less than a dozen times, that, or I'm getting old and feeble minded.

I try to make my contributions positive and supportive, sometimes I even manage to get the balance right between my odd sense humour and misunderstanding promulgated by online communication with strangers.

Thanks for the positive attitude, beautiful stranger!
