Another means of contact....

Most of the email that comes to me with my real name inside is either calling me Ms. Mist, Ms. NightMist, Night, Ms. Drosselmeyer, Frau, or occasionally Ms. Frau Drosselmeyer. DH uses Herr Drosselmeyer as his "real" name, so I just jumped onboard with that.

Isn't it nice to know that all that junk mail comes from literate and culturally aware humans instead of clueless autobots? lol

NightMist

you know me there? j.

It's funny - I am probably less open to the world on FB because all my settings are set exclusively to friends but somehow I felt more exposed when posting on the rctq page there as compared to posting here on the newsgroup. Maybe it's because FB has links to the "rest" of my life...... family and non-quilting friends with pictures of all of them. And also because there are names I don't recognize there - I haven't learned everyones' alternate identities yet.

i was never asked for my password for my email addy on facebook. sounds odd to me. only use the one email addy there my @yahoo. here on usenet i've put in a totally bogus return email addy so it cant be harvested.

The FB page asked if I had other addresses I used and then wanted my pass word for that. I don't think so. I was able to choose but the idea that anyone would give out thier password to allow a third party into their 'stuff' was really amazing to me. I remember when the lawyering issue came up many years ago here too. : ( The AARP will probably find Stanley given enough time! LOL Taria

Yup!! Your FB name made it easy to figure out who you are - at least for people who 'met' you a while back on rctq. :)

Allis> you know me there?

Howdy!

My favorite, so far, has been addressed to Snadra Ellisor.

Meanwhile, over at FB, RCTQ is busy, but not trying to replace the good ol' homeland here on the ng. ;-D
