What?! Was I Supposed to be Anon?
Sep. 10th, 2010 07:43 amWell I learned something today. Two things actually.
1) If you're posting in a comment thread where the vast majority of people are posting Anonymously, it's better to also post Anonymously yourself, even if you don't care if anyone knows who you are. That's so other people can enjoy the cover of being Anon more thoroughly.
2) I don't know about your LJ account, but on mine, I CAN'T post anonymously when I reply directly to a comment thread, but can do so if I access the Reply option via my Inbox. I just figured that out TODAY. So now I can start replying to threads Anonymously, when it's appropriate.
The reason I'm putting this out there is:
a) to make it clear to those who might have wondered why I was not posting anonymously before
and
b) to let anyone who wants to post anonymously but can't...ping me and I might be able to help.
