Greatnan

I had never thought of that Ceesnan but I suppose most of us would unconsciously edit what we put according to our own perception of ourselves.

Now of course I'm thinking of all the things I could say about me knowing that no one would ever know if it were true or not. Hmmmm

One could put anything on and there is a good chance no-one would know any different !
I could have been a prima ballerina !! or a world famous racing car driver and driven in the Monaco Grand prix . The possibilities are endless !!

What fun eh!!

I couldn't get away with any exaggerations on my profile - Anno has visited me twice and could blow the gaff on me! And I have met several members who would know if my photos were not accurate!

I have always used a laptop, and even before SD card slots, it was easy to use a card reader via usb.
Everybody sees us in a different way to how we see ourselves.

I might suss you out if you claimed to be a Prima Ballerina nonu better go for something else. I know nothing about racing though, you could be anyone and I would believe it.

No harri, Elegran description of me is quite accurate

L A L !!

Hello Greatnan

Wow what a life you have had and continue to have. There again in my ignorance I assumed you lived in Britain.

I don't climb mountains but endeavour to walk each day to keep everything moving.

Good luck to you.

over which hill are you over? Come and walk the Malverns that will keep you fit!

It is a question isn't it about why we choose not to "blue" our profile. Mine was very full and open until we had some very nasty intruders - (tr**ls, if I am allowed to say the word!)- and I decided that I no longer wanted ot give away any information to dodgy lurkers. I would happily remedy that and wonder why so many Gnetters, especially newer ones, are not willing to say just a little about themselves - number of DGC, job/former job, interests/maybe (roughly) geographical location for instance.

It's each person's individual choice whether to 'blue' or not. There are pros and cons but I have reasons I wish to remain anonymous except to those I trust to reveal myself to.
Pedants please excuse the grammar

I'm with Aka on this. If you have ever been stalked online you will understand the caution. There are some really nasty people out there.

Someone - now no longer with us - turned some of my profile details against me in a most unpleasant manner. I'm more circumspect now.

I'e also been tracked down a couple of times, and as I was stalked by someone for two years, I am being extremely cautious now.

Lona imo the people who do things like this pick on the nice people they know won't retaliate.

Moved, yes, the 'easy target' again!
