				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks everyone for your thoughtful comments on all sides of the <a href="http://washwords.wordpress.com/2008/05/29/to-anon-or-not-to-anon-that-is-the-question/">to anon or not to anon</a> issue.  I agree with&#8230; well&#8230; all of you on the reasons to and not to come out of the bloggycloset. I&#8217;m still mulling it, but one of the things I&#8217;ve had in the back of my mind is that for those who WANT to find me, it&#8217;s not that tough. In fact a little less tough then I realized when  a certain (old media) blog directory listed Washwords in its newfangled blog directory, much to my delight, and then&#8230; MUCH TO MY HORROR!!!!!, my full name alongside it. No worries, thought I, I&#8217;ll just use this handy-dandy &#8220;click here to email&#8221; mistakes thingy &#8211; but <span id="more-1508"></span>alas (because this is an OLD MEDIA NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE INTERWEB) that email went nowhere. Nor did my webform for help other than to the &#8220;can I delete my profile or change my user name on your site&#8221; page? Answer: No.</p>
<p>Given that I had just been mulling this question myself (and that the OLD MEDIA is not where people go to learn about new hip blogsters), I figured &#8220;eh&#8221; and let it go. (Not that I had a choice, it&#8217;s there forever.) Then a realized an advanced beginner level of google search proficiency could also take you to me. Why am I telling you this? Because I think, for me, the solution is to keep doing just what I am &#8211; I&#8217;m not totally out there, but I&#8217;m not too hard to find (especially the more of my 20 million closest friends and colleagues and people I would have gone to band camp with, had I gone,  I decide to let know.) I also wanted to reward (ha! maybe punish?) folks who blogroll me or subscribe via a newsreader or email (see, the left hand side under &#8220;share the love&#8221;) with some special subscriber only bulletins for those who know me or have become washwords fans so&#8230; to sum up, I&#8217;ll stay just where I am&#8230; behind the curtain&#8230; for now.</p>
