> And that's not the only posting name change lately. And I'm not talking about those like Slinky or Gracie who've been open about it. In one instance, it's pretty clear from the posting style who the poster used to be. So what do I do then? If I continue to post to that person with my relationship with that person in mind, I'm afraid of letting the cat out of the bag, plus I feel like I'm colluding in deceiving (however innocently) others on the board who might not have caught on. > Their right? Sure, as long as they don't post under two names at once.Hi Dinah,
Okay, I don't think that you mean me, but I am becoming afraid that with my name change, you are mad/annoyed at me. I really tried to be open about it and make it clear that my name change has absolutely NOTHING to do with the board. I'm not trying to be deceptive or mysterious or anything like that. I also don't have any specific relationships with anyone on the board and rarely direct any posts to a specific person, unless it is a response to their posting, or it is something like this.As for posting under two names, I have been doing that, but more to phase out my old name and not confuse people if they directed a post to my old name and I'm responding as someone else.
