[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 609594, member: 6705"] I originally landed here after a Google search, too. I lurked for about a month, reading, before I even became a member... That was nearly 5 years ago. I never in my life have belonged to a forum that I stayed in more than a few months at most. But here... Sometimes I post a lot, sometimes not so much. After having to change my name and signature line recently, having been "found" by someone who knew darned good and well I was posting here and what about for 4 of those years, I understand the need for anonymity. on the other hand, I use the "unread posts" link and it brings up all the new posts in all the forums. I know I've commented in PE, before I had an adult child... In ECZ before I had Rose. There have been a few times that people replied to my posts and I felt judged. There have been times I did not post, because I "didn't want to hear it". A couple of those people I felt judged by... Weren't. I didn't realize it till later. They were giving me their thoughts based on their experiences (and some I count among people I trust implicitly, now). That said, trolls make me very, very, very angry. [/QUOTE]
