And again, welcome Anamika/Sandra!!! Unless you use a work computer exclusively (and they are uptight about leaving cookies lying around), I'd really recommend "officially" joining. For one thing, that gets you access to MudChat (where some of us hang out from time to time), if that is of any interest to you. Nobody has access to your personal information except for Max and (I think) the moderator crew. You do have the option of posting a photo (of yourself, your pet cat, your son's fingerpainting, whatever) and other information if you choose. There is also an ongoing thread somewhere under "Mudcat FAQs" where you can learn to do neat things like underlining and writing in different colors. Have fun!
