[possible humourless rant] Am I the only one who thinks that perhaps this idea of people taking on extra identities is starting to get out of hand? Many strangers take the plunge by asking a question that's been bothering them for months, years, or decades. It may be one that some of us think the answer to is obvious or can be easily found. That doesn't matter: it's their question and gives them a way of plunging into the intimidating-seeming but wonderful group we're building here.
So far, so obvious. My point is if the rest of us have to treat every stranger with suspicion trying to decide whether it's another leg-pull or not, this is not going to help the genuine strangers win acceptance or feel welcome, now is it? Once or twice we can live with, but it's starting to become a habit. [/possible humourless rant]

Enough is enough. You are correct and you are right.

No, it isn't. The whirlwind of activity of trying to keep up with the board is intimidating and confusing enough initially (my first real jaunt here was that endless, weaving "Nautical Thread," so I know!) without the extra confusion of phantom entities going on...good-natured as it is. (and, no "Vixy," please don't resurrect the "Nautical Thread," now) It makes for some fun...but, in the long run, I do think it's more important to encourage new energy to stay.

While I agree that it must be a traumatic experience for a young person to have their very existence put in question, this can only happen if the virtual presence (and relationships with fellow "phantoms") on the Net is confused with bodily existence. And that would be a truly alarming addictive state.

Can somebody tell me if J.S. Bach wrote a cantata with that phrase in it?

BWV 60 (O Ewigkeit, du Donnerwort)) has the phrase es ist genug.
