It has been my experience that when I first meet someone on these boards that whether I know their name and location etc or not that I really know next to nothing about them. However, after a few months of reading what they say and how they say it, speaks volumes about their personality, values, standards, humour or lack of it and knowledge/experience.
I do believe that most folks on these boards have no idea just how much, about who they are, is revealed in this medium. Unlike conversations where we tend to forget much of what was said, here we can go back and re-read exactly what was said weeks and months later.
Pretty scary really !!
