Who knows you´re here?

The lounge is a place for some pretty idle questions, and this one is hardly profound, but I was wondering how open or closeted you are about using MB.

The only person IRL who knows that I´m a member of MB is my son, who is sworn to secrecy. Recently I considered inviting a RL friend to join us here, but I decided against it in the end.

How about you guys? Do you kept your MB alter-ego under wraps, or have you gone public and admitted to the world that you post in a music forum ?
Also, if you want to get philosophical, What does your decision say about you ? How does it affect the way you post?

I have invited people I know but they aren't big into forums. So they either lurk as a guest or create an account and never post.

All of my friends know I post here.
But I don't have any friends.

If you resemble your avatar in any way, that´s not altogether surprising, Frownland!

And did you tell them that you were djchameleon ? - though I suppose they could work it out soon enough from the Member Picture thread...

Yep of course. I told them my user name. I am not ashamed of anything that I have posted here.

I wouldn't want to expose my friends to the site.

i think that pretty much everybody i know in the real world knows i post on here....i've brought up discussions from this site several times to friends and family....i think i've only invited one person that i can think of....and he basically told me that you were all a bunch of music nerds like myself and he would feel inadequate here

My boyfriend does and he joined: Music Banter - View Profile: zombie kid

But I don't think anyone else does. I don't really care, anyways.

Had no idea that zombie kid was your boyfriend, BD. Now I have to check him out - see if he´s good enough for you

Good for you, dj ! For me, it makes me uneasy to think that someone I know can look over my shoulder at what I´m posting. By keeping things seperate, here on MB I can present myself as an accomplished musician, a womanizer and a friend to the famous - in fact, that reminds me of the time I was singing a duet with Beyonce...
