    Do you wonder exactly who you're talking to?


    I have pictures in my mind about the major users of this site. I know there are young people, old people and everyone in between and men and women too. It would be interesting to know if you are talking to a 74 year old woman or an 11 year old boy. Just a thought...I guess we'll never know. I trust most people and that's what counts. Very good people here.

    Something I really like about these web forae is the anonymity. When I attempt to assist someone with a technical problem, it benefits me to assume that they lack really comprehensive knowledge about computer science. Otherwise, my responses to questions about RAID configs would be links to white papers or certain listings within bibliographies. Instead, I can take a peek at the OP's profile, try to put on their shoes and attempt to help that person solve their perceived problem, if not the real problem. Consider the numerous postings about virtual memory - microfew posters get it right, with or without qualifiers or caveats. I choose to leave that one alone starting now.

    No, I do not wonder. I am lurking here of late to enhance my knowledge of the new OS. I have found a handful of people that see the big picture and also understand that the OS is simply a tool. I belong to other forums populated by persons who use other tools that I also employ. I dig the anonymity there as well.

    Oddly, at this forum I have found persons that I readily admire and I have posted pictures of my family - ripping the veil as it were. I have not done that elsewhere.

    I am an uglier, fatter, hairier, shorter, and older version of Brad Pitt, but with the same dynamic screen presence and raw animal magnetism.

    Just try and get that image out of your head! HA!

    I like the anonymity, I just have to wonder sometimes. You know there are a lot of young people on the forum. We would be surprised how many older people there probably are too. Is all cool. It's kind of neat we can all come together and share our knowledge.

    Just picture an 18 (almost 19) year old guy with a Boston Red Sox hat on.
    That would be me :)

    And I'm pretty set with not knowing who is out there. I just like helping them through any issue that may present itself :)
