> Or like my therapist said, other explanations are more likely to occur to people.
Yeah, I guess so. The default assumption is to try to make sense of one body as one person (or self) or one posting name as one person (or self) - so that is what we try and do. We just come to see that body or poster as 'variable' or something like that.
> Would you know?Do you mean would I know if they posted under my name, or if I would know if they registered under a new name?
Sometimes I find posts (under my name) that I don't remember writing. Sometimes I think Babble is a bit of a journal for me. In reading some of those posts I can figure out what they are up to.
I'm not sure whether I would know if they registered under a new name. I have found out about this once. I emailed Dr Bob and that posting name was blocked. I worry about that a bit. That they would stabotage things for me. Sometimes I have wondered whether newbies that I have greeted were them really. So I follow their posts around a bit till I figure that they are not them - but actually are a newbie.
>I imagine that not having full co-consciousness would be scary.
Yeah.
