Re: Buffalo question answered ????????
Hi Talk of the Villagers,
I am back north at work after visiting with my mom, and I am unsure of everything that has happened, so I am going to post a general response to what I do know. I was visiting with my mom this weekend and saw that she used identifying information as her handle name on this blog. I knew nothing else about this blog except that it is online with people she may or may not know.
Having a lot of experience in online communities I expressed my strong concern about using any identifying information to my mom and changed her visible name so that it doesn't. I got after her for the name that she was using and insisted that we change it right away. Although she may know a lot of the people on the list personally, and you're all quite trustworthy to be sure, there may be other people who are able to view the discussions that my mom will never meet in person and I do not want them to know her name. I created the name Pretty Lady for her, she asked me to change it, so I called her Best Mom instead.
Simple internet safety was the only thing I had in mind and I hope that the people on Talk of the Villages can understand and respect that.
Signed,
A Concerned Daughter
