This business with on-line personas and real-life people is pretty confusing to me. I am what I write basically and cannot be any different, a bit silly, a bit pompous. Hopefully, fairly intelligent and sometimes a bit mixed up about what I want to say. Most of the other people I know from this particular forum are basically the same way they are in "real life". I know that there are many, many people who for some sad or misguided reason have created an on-line "persona", maybe to bolster the poor self image that they have of themselves. Personally, I extended the offer of shelter to any 'catters ( by that I mean anyone who uses the forum, not for any 'calnnish' reasons) who happen to swing down my way. I thing that I can trust a 'catter, where I know I couldn't trust someone I have met on mIRC or something like that. I have received much help and encouragement of the last few years from those in this forum. There were times that were extremely hard and for one reason or another I had to exempt myself from cyberlife. Always thinking of the "cat and the people here. But, always I have been welcomed back with open arms by those that know me ( even when I had to log back in as a newbie, never could remember that darned password), and that's the biggest vote of confidence that I have EVER received, anywhere.
