alatar,

Nope to all of the above, but thanks for the cool thread! It has given me ideas. "Eeeexcelent, Smithers."

Durelin,

This thread reminds me (at least in some of the direction it has gone) of another that discussed how "real" people were behind their screennames - as in, how much they behaved as themselves rather than trying to be someone else.

Oh, I've definitely done that on the BD. I joined when I was seventeen, that's my excuse!... Or an explanation, at the very least. Are our online selves any less real than our offline selves? That's the question, I guess.
