    Perhaps the UserID I chose is a little too unique. Yikes! Then again, I chose this ID 'cuz it's altogether different from the others I use on other forums. I know the principles behind posting on internet forums, though. I'm seriously paranoid about what info I post anywhere that's public. I've made the mistake of posting a picture of myself ONLY ONCE and not here. The borg spies ARE everywhere! I hope that PM's aren't this easy to find.

    I hope that if/when the overhaul of this website does come around that Simon makes privacy/security more of a priority. It surprises me that the login isn't https protected. The gravatar thing is a worry for me too. I know that a spare time project like this website can't have everything but I hope that privacy will be more of a consideration in the future. Those of us with families still in still have to fear for our anonymity...

    Hah!!! Yeah, ExWhyZee, my posts on JWN showed up too...

    But then, my 'handle' is pretty unique...

    I've always intentionally used screennames that are unmodified dictionary words so that they're not as likely to always lead back to me. :)

    A search for "palimpsest" leads you to the Wikipedia entry on palimpsests. Might help to explain why I picked it for ex-JW forums. ;)

    fourth listed on the first page leads to JWN. :-( I might change to something more ambiguous.

    Can I delete my name and set up another account as someone else? I don't want to be caught if someone happens across my name some how.

    Somebody has the same name as me on a 'deviant art' site (first hit). I show up second (beliefnet). And then there are lots of misspellings of the word 'anomaly.' There's one on 'Sputnikmusic.' A while back Google showed up another 'Annomaly' on a forum discussing political subjects. There's a few of us in cyberspace, it looks like.

    V665 mentioned the avartars. I looked under my name in google images. No pictures of me, but there is a picture of my husband.

    Lisa ... of course I had to google your name and find your husband's picture, I did ... weird was that I also found a picture of my wife and when I clicked on it it was directly after a post you made on JWN ... oh wait, that's not my wife, its Angelina Jolie, never mind
