Re: Anonymous Posters

I wasn't even smart enough to think to do this! However, I'm a terrible "secret poster". Before I knew I was pregnant, I posted under a different name because I know people on the site, and I didn't want to start a huge hulabaloo before I knew I was actually prego. Well, then when I knew I was prego, I wanted to wait until I was 12 weeks, but I outted myself by posting under my real name by accident. In the two seconds that the post was up, people had already read it and knew it was me. Chat Icon I'm just not meant to keep anything a secret I guessChat Icon

I agree!

I have never used a fake name. If the time ever came where I felt I had to I wouldn't respond to myself.

Re: Anonymous Posters

why not just post under your actual name? I think it's kind of silly to respond to your own post.

No...but it doesn't mean I wouldn't. I guess it depends on what I was posting about and if I was that concerned about people figuring out it was me.

what's the point? it's one thing to post under an alias if you have a personal question and want to remain anonymous but reply to it just doesn't make sense to me.

I only made one other name here, but it was when I wanted to see if everyone else saw the faint line I saw on my pregnancy test. I didn't post on my own thread that would be kinda silly.

I've never used a fake name, but I can see responding to yourself so nobody catches on.

Re: Anonymous Posters

Clearly because so many people would post on your own anonymous thread doing so doesn't show you aren't the poster, so it doesn't make any sense to do it. It would actually clue me in to the possibility that it might be someone, esp. if it is the PG board or whatever.

Re: Anonymous Posters

I didn't even answer the poll because none of the answers apply to me. I wouldn't get a fake name. That just seems dumb to me.
