there's a difference between having an established, consistent representation of who you are and a new account.. i can sympathize with a few reasons for needing to hide but it's hard not to still feel it's irratating, decietful and kinda cowardly at some level.

as to whether it's anonymous--it's not when you ascribe value to the indentity you've forged. if there wasn't some real personal involvement in your other screename and the internet was truly anonymous and apersonal then why do you need to protect your supposedly anonymous account's reputation? i thought i suggested some reasonable ways to let others identify roughly who you were. it's not like it's hard for those who can see your ip addy to nail who it is based on region, so nobody's that much of a ghost unless they make it look like they live in poland.

as to what you actually said before i distracted myself with that tangent---that's cool. why not post more since you visit reguarly? adt has a big userbase, but it's so brutally earnest and there's a crushing sense of general reticence to say something that's going to offend people. and jewel is a scumbag. it's great for content, but it's totally devoid of humor, whereas the opposite tends to rule the day here. oh well, this was fun. see you in a month.
