Am I being paranoid? Am I getting too old and just not willing to "play" in the new social world we live in?

I had a user name that was kind of close to my real name, i also listed my real hometown. I changed both due to google.

Can you change your user name or do you have to open a new user account?

Thanks all for the responses. I think I realize what the issue it. It is me. I must not be very good at verbalizing what I really mean. It seems like most of my life when I speak, the listener seems to misconstrue or just not understand what I am trying to convey. And this is with the ability of the listener to observe my body language and hear my voice inflections.

So instead of withdrawing and not posting, I will continue to post and it will be practice in crafting sentences that will hopefully convey what I am thinking and meaning.

I have met a lot of good people on this forum and I run into several of you as I attend different events. I am not ready to give that up. And if I just lurk, I may learn, but I won't be building what could be some great relationships. After all, we have a lot in common here!

Thanks again.

I don't think anyone here had any trouble figuring out what you were saying. If you judge yourself by responses you get in an online forum, you have a rocky road ahead. BTW, you're not that serial killer I've been hearing about...?

I wondered where you have been.
After all the Gov. snooping of late I stopped posting in the SHTF forum but with what is already there........the history is in place. As already said, own it.
I have never seen anything from you to worry over. Stick around and enjoy the party.

I have been posting pretty regularly here for about a year. Before that I was on a Miata forum and before that on a triathlete forum. Out of the blue a few weeks ago, someone contacted me from the Miata forum. I haven't been on that forum for well over 2 years. Well it kinda unnerved me and got me thinking;

When we post something it is out there in cyberspace basically forever. A simple Google search will bring it to light. Another example; on this forum I posted in a thread something about the video game COD. My brother went on Google to do a search to try to figure out how to play it better. Guess what? A link to INGO led him to the thread where he saw my

Small world. I was pretty active on the miata forum quite a few years ago... haven't been on there in years as I sold my '97 over 6 years ago now... I see people are still using my rpmq sub box design though... I suppose things on the internet never do disappear...

Thanks. I will stick around. I have a lot to offer this forum.

And thank-you findingzzero. You are right. After all, none of us are Shakespeare's where we can construct a sentence or paragraph that is perfectly understood by all readers. As far as that serial killer thing, I have been known to kill a box of Lucky Stars now and then.
