NanKate we all take that risk on here but there are ways of not being too specific about the where, when, what, who information we give about our families etc when we post.

Do you know if any of your family members use GN?

You are known on here as NanKate I don't really no anything else about uou but I have seen a few posts. Could you ask GNHQ to allow you to get a username that is completely fictitious pr one that takes you well away from your own name..
Unless you are someone very famous it should be possible to keep a fair degree of anonimity.

I am a clematis. I just used the name of the first variety of Clematis I ever bought.

I wish there was an opportunity to make an occasional comment anonymously. There was one thread where I would have valued some wise input from other GNs but if any member of my family, or friends, saw the comment it would have possibly revealed who I was and compromised a close relative.

If this was possible, HQ would need to police the comments in their usual way.
