Mmmm..... I agree with all of the above, but a point that still irks in my brain, is that WHY are people so concerned about what others think of them on a forum. We'll probably never meet up, though it would be nice. Cazzer, you say correctly:
People are only going to put on a message board what they want you to know about themselves.
But why do we care about giving information about ourself? The interesting thing for me, is that we could talk about the weather and impersonal things like that, but as humans, even on an anonymous forum where you sit in front of a screen and type, you still behave as you would in real life. We are conditioned. It's weird and wonderful. I am really surprised at myself, for example, how seriously I take things on here, and how hooked I am and happy to see certain people are on-line etc. It's strange. If someone had told me this years ago, I don't think I would have believed it, though I was also an avid penpal in my youth, so it must be something that was in-bred long ago!

Thanks Janet, for your nice comment about my ideas, made me feel good, even if we are only cyber-pals!  :-*

Janet!

as for myself what you see here is what i am like in reality

No.. What we see here is what we percieve you are like by what sort of personality you can get accross on here.. What i think you are like will almost certainly differ from what you rally are like... Everyone will ahve an opinion on what you are like and it will all be different..

Thats the point.. You cant possible get accross what the true Janet is like.

On another note...
being anonymous isn't as easy as using a false name..

Jo · 19-09-2003, 12:07

Just to clarify, Harry, do you mean that even if we use a false name, we are not necessarily anonymous? Intereresting point, can you explain a bit more what you mean?

ps I'm itching to reply to you under Waccy Baccy, but I promised I wouldn't.  Damnation! (is that swearing?) ;D

HarryX · 19-09-2003, 12:26

Just a false name doesnt keep yo anonymous.

So you replied to it in here instead?  thats sneaky

Jo · 19-09-2003, 12:35

Yeah and yeah to both points!
1) I'm sneaky
2) a false name doesn't keep you completely anonymous, you're right. I know some of my family know I post as Jo, they worked it out, it wasn't that hard at all!!! But if we were REALLY anonymous, do you think we'd behave differently in our posting or does human nature force us to be ourselves anyway?
ps are you really called Harry or are you my brother in disguise???? That would explain the heated debates between us....!!!! ;D

Tealeaf · 19-09-2003, 12:37

Hello Jo......dunno about the rhyming slang....in any case, I'm only here during the week...I'm back in Church & the big O weekends....where the hell is Bolzano anyway? Is it anywhere near Cinzano?

HarryX · 19-09-2003, 12:40

So I am right on both points eh

But 2) Can go a litle deeper than guesswork... For example whoever has access to your sign up information knows quite a bit.. its suprising what you can get from an email

Have a look at www.securiteam.com

Type Yabb (the name of this massageboard) into the search box

Hello tealeaf,

where the hell is Cinzano??? Near Martini?

only kidding!

Bolzano is in South Tyrol in the Italian Alps, 80km from the Austrian border, 100km North of Lake Garda. It's a town of around 100.000 inhabitants. If you check out the member map, you'll see my arrow! REally interesting place to live, thea speak both German and Italian it's a mix of cultures and languages, that can be enriching, bnut also sometimes problematic, a bit like the Basque situation in Spain if you've heard about that - minority culture porotection and the like...
Where abouts in London do you live?

Tealeaf · 19-09-2003, 13:12

I thought that was near Bianco?

Jo · 19-09-2003, 13:49

Actually a good freind of mine from Bolzano just got married to a count!! (not dracula) his father owns the Martini company. It's based in a place called Asti near Turin in Piemonte, Italy (hence the name Asti Martini). Lucky thing - she's really landed on her feet there, he bought her a BMW convertible 2-seater thing as an engagement pressie. Think I got a bunch of flowers.....oh well, good job I'm not materialistic!!

Tealeaf · 19-09-2003, 14:09

So she's now the countess of aston martin? Why buy a BMW then when she could get a DB9 for free?

Jo · 19-09-2003, 14:11

ha ha ha, never thought of that one Tealeaf!

Hey Harry, will check out that site!

Bit too intensive for me this.I would be too scared of giving too much away of myself.Only thing i can say about Cinzano is that it is a really good table cleaner,try it out it really is.Takes all of the stains off the wood.
