LOL - I remember 'coming out' to one of my IRL friends about being a gifted person, soon after DS11 had kicked me out of the closet.

Her response was, "well of course you are, dear!"

And here I had thought that I hid it so well!

Apparently not!

So yes do come out, dears!

Ok, I tried to post a few minutes ago and it didn't go through. I'll try again. I think I may be invisible, at least some of the time. I happened to click on details on the left side thinking it would be details about my posts. Instead, it shows who's online and exactly what thread they are reading. Too Big Brother for me! Sorry if it made you uncomfortable. I still can post under my screen name.

Questions

It didn't make me uncomfortable, Questions. I just love a good mystery and I couldn't help myself by making some fun!

The details of Who's Online have bothered me too, every time I change my icon (let's see - 3x now) I'm tempted to hide. Haven't done it yet, I'm usually one of the non-logged in anonymice unless I want to post.

I like the feature because I have started to grow quite fond of my new "e-friends".
FWIW when I log in and see, for example, kcab is online, I say whooppeeeeeeee!!!!!

Incog

(That's me blushing now!)
I agree, I like the top level of Who's Online. I love it when there are oodles of people on and I know there will be lots to read soon. I actually think that part of the feature is good for building community. And now, whenever I see that there is 1 invisible on-line, I'll just figure it's questions!

I feel the same way, kcab & incog. I like knowing there's more on the way soon!

I agree that the "who's reading what" is a wee bit Orwellian though.

Shall we time one another's reading speed with it?

(Tee-hee!)

I have a habit of getting distracted by real life and wandering away from my computer. It probably looks like I have turned to stone staring at my screen!

You're right, it's probably me, although I'm clearly not the only one!

Ha! It's me too. But I blame incogneato. I never thought about making myself "invisible" until (s)he posted this.

I'll come out of the closet! And I probably look like I stare at my computer all day with Lorel
