Am I the only one that is hesitant to use my real name on a board? I have had a bad experience because of that, and know another person who had a bad experience because of it. Is that more common than one might think, or am I paranoid? Would love to hear all opinions.

Hi Hap... This is the first forum I have joined and yes I am a bit wary. When I blog to the local newspapers I use pseudonyms. No bad experiences.... just paranoia!! LOL

I refer to myself as DA on the board, but everyone knows my name is Debbie! the main reason I did that is because we used to have a ton of Debbie's on here. I have never had any problems.

Me,neither.

I've never had any problems at all.

So does that mean this is the first/only board ya'll have been on? Maybe that would indicate this board is a "GOOD" board???

actually, I do belong to several other boards..I am a fanatic about my dogs, and I belong to 2 or three "minpin groups"
never had a problem there either

and yes, this is a GOOD board...great in fact!!

Thank you all for your opinions.

I don't use my last name but I have no problem using my first name.
