One advantage of Facebook is the way it discourages anonymity. Which doesn't just get people to take more responsibility, it means you get to leave more of a legacy. Two of the most interesting posters here were M.Ted and Volgadon, both of whom have disappeared, and I have no way of knowing who they were. Volgadon was an Israeli soldier, and posted one message in a different forum after the invasion of Gaza, which seems to have put a stop to his internet presence. M.Ted stopped abruptly with no warning or explanation so I think he died. If I knew their names I'd have some chance of tracing them.

I don't remember more than one name for people. I know Gordeanna McCulloch used to post here, and at one point I knew who was behind her pseudonym, but I don't have a prayer of remembering it again. There was a very nice bloke who used to post here as "Zen" - I actually met him, but because he'd been using that pseudonym for years, his real name never stuck. Keberoxu told me her real name once but now I have no idea what it was. (Reminders won't work, either).
