...in so many ways, some known to us, others remaining unknown and unrecognised, sometimes for years, sometimes forever.. so, my question is: would you rather know of the ways in which your presence effects others or would you prefer such things not be drawn to your attention?

recognition or anonymity?.

Ok...I'm wading in here.

It's probably the heat and the long drive home that is affecting my answer but here goes:

I know that this is just a discussion board. That being said it's not just a discussion board. The community on any board make that board what it is and will ultimately become. With every post we make you leave an impression on someone that reads it. Good, bad or indifferent. So, we do touch each other. Like when you throw a pebble in a still body of water. The ripples go out and if you wait long enough the water will be still again. The lake will look the same but it is forever changed.

I can only hope that what I post I do with compassion, humor and love because that would be what I would want to receive in return.

As for knowing the impact/impression we make on others? If you want to tell me...tell me. Absorbed in wondering what people think of me? Not my style.
