Hi,

If you wish to use an assumed name, you can create an email that doesn't have your name in it. Yahoo, gmail, hotmail, I think these are all still free. Then when you join a list use a different name.

As I pass out RR cards to people in my life, the other day it occurred to me that I wouldn't want that person to have access to my sharing about depression on the depression list.

So, I did just what I'm sharing with you to see if it works. And, it does. But, it does feel weird as I have developed relationships with a few people. So, I think I'm just going to go with my first name and an email address set up to use expressly for the forum and any lists I'm a part of.

HTH
Warmly
