I think the negativity is just a reflection of the fact that people are uncomfortable with anonymity on Silk. I know I definitely am. For me, silk has always been a place to have an extended conversation with folks. I feel I know most of the regulars on the list -- even the ones I have never met have established personalities that I'm now familiar with. Having a conversation with someone who is actively hiding his identity is difficult and strange. tbd: I'm sure you have no malicious intent in using a shared email id, but be aware that it's making me (and others) uncomfortable. If that is _not_ your intent then I'd suggest that you move to an individual id. -- b
