I see that some members are in stealth mode. That, by far, is not the majority.

I was curious as to why you prefer to be invisible, if you want to share.

To those who have used that feature in the past, why have you ?

To those who don't use it, what are your thoughts ?

I remember using that feature on a discussion board a couple of years back. I used it at a time when I was fighting internet addiction - I am still strugling sometimes, mind you. I can be quite compulsive with the Net. I was ashamed then. I did not want people to say in their head "my god, she is still here".

I'm one of them.. I just like it that way. Once I post...like now, well, it's doesn't take a genius to figure out I'm here. :-D

EDIT: wait... the green light is on under my name. is it not green for you?

No it's not green.

Ooook Kay. Good answer, I guess.

What do you want me to say? You know I'm here right? I'm not hooked on the internet, in fact I've slowly been coming back regular. I can unhide myself if that would make YOU more comfortable. :)

I don't make myself invisible, but I lurk a lot on here. Mainly because all of you have amazing, lengthy answers to topics and I feel inferior. :oops:

I want you to find me. Don't you like to play hide and seek? :)

I never really paid any attention to stealth mode or whether someone is currently online or not.

Aww FTL, don't let that bother you! Most of my posts consist of a couple of sentences. I really like getting to the point and not beating around the bush with alot of words. You'll warm up to us. :-D

I would like to add to what TalaNay said by noting that quantity of posts does not equate to quality of posts.

In other words, some talk a lot but say very little. So don't be too impressed by how long a post is! :wink:

Just so you'd post this!
