Hell, my mom comments daily. Some of them read I <em>think </em>- and I'm not super comfortable with it. I try to remember all of the people who know me, know about my blog, and DON'T read very often. Most people who aren't bloggers have about a 2 second attention span when it comes to blogs. At least, that's what I tell myself. <em>Miss Britt's last blog post..<a href='http://miss-britt.com/2008/02/remember-when/' rel="nofollow">Remember When</a></em> A lot of people from my ‘real life’ know about my blog.

Of course I have things to hide! Everyone does. I do feel you're missing my point, which is that when one has an anonymous blog, one is able to write as freely as they wish without worrying about hurting someone's feelings. I learned the hard way when I vented about a Vegas vacay-gone-bad with my family that you don't have that freedom when you blog under your real identity. A certain amount of discretion <em>must</em> be exercised. Any blogger will vouch for how stifling that restriction on self-expression can become. You bet I am paranoid! But that doesn't mean they <em>aren't</em> really out to get me. :wink: Frank’s News: Thank you for sharing an opposing viewpoint. Of course I have things to hide! Everyone does.
