Aimee, I think this proves the point I was trying to make before. Different cultures.
Brian, You should take your issue of disclosure on the BB up with the owners of this BB. It would certainly be a very different BB if everyone disclosed his/her personal info. I know I would not be as open and honest as I have been here if I had to put my full info down as anyone on the Internet can see what you post -- a client, a potential client, a jealous co-worker, etc. I use my real name and always have on BB's. I don't have different alias. And, I certainly don't form alliances to get my friends to come on board and defend me.
Moderators should moderate, not overreact to imagined slights from two people who have been honestly seeking information and trying to help others.
Shall we all make peace now or do you want to keep going like this?
