    Don't apologise, sometimes a comment will trigger off a post you carn't just slap it on another tread, take no notice


    I think thats why i'm having such a problem at the moment, I am true to myself and I actually like myself, where I am, what i'm doing, i'm finding it hard to understand why no one else does......so shouldn't that be telling me that's where the problem lies

    I joined with a 'known to all who know me' identity - except only 2 people on here knew me - it was easy enough for them to then know who I was. It was the fact that I recognised them from their forum IDs that prompted me to join.

    Of course you can stay anon. The real decision comes though when you go to any events. You either make yourself known to people and so 'blow your cover' or else remain aloof and mysterious - but that doesn't seem as much fun to me when part of the joy of dancing and this forum is meeting new people.

    (One attempt at an 'alias' - I went into a chatroom after a local TV programme, to discuss the issues raised in the programme with those who had made it. On entering the room I was asked for a 'name' - heeding all the 'chat room sense' I choose a pretend name 'Daffodil'. To discover everyone else had their real name (or nickname people knew them by IRL). And I knew, or knew of, all of them. I felt too daft with my silly name to actually come clean and admit who I was!)

    What have I started! (I've noticed my new tag line!) I only picked Daffodil that time because I had a bunch of them in a vase on the table. (Though they are a nice spring flower.)
