i agree that anaonymous is good, for me its essential, and without it i wouldnt be able to be part of mudcat. I work in a job where I'm not allowed to comment publicly on anything, so i enjoy the anonimity that using freda's name provides.

my cat name, freda underhill, is derived from Frodo Baggins' name (Mr Underhill) that he used when they all went incognito to the prancing pony at the beginning of their big journey ( and freda is a bit like frodo). as well, I have caroused in as nurse ratched, as bleeding gums boris, natasha smasher, and amalia clawall on the vlad the inhaler threads. these names are for fun, not for the purpose of making mean or snide comments. nurse ratched may need a little taming sometimes, she seems to have developed a life of her own. i also pose as a guest when i want to say something thats very personal, and want to get the info thru without being judged.
