Sorry to hijack the thread, but I don't understand folks' fear of allowing their names to be known.

Truthsayer/Claypot/whoever - your opening post touted your multiple orchid greenhouses and 30 years of experience, yet you hide who you are? To me, that is either unnecessary withheld credibility, preventing "Yes, I've been to Fred's place, and his plants are fantastic!", or it means there is something to hide.

I did question this situation in my mind before - such as wondering what's the reason for covering tracks and ID, but still leave cookie crumbs (trail/clues - ie. 30 years of orchid experience and green-houses) that could allow members to guess or figure out their previous ID and hence name.

The opening post says "I want to contribute but if people are offended because they don't like to hear the constructive truth".

This draws attention, as it could mean that contributions were made, but possibly some of them could have rubbed fur the wrong way ..... or could have conveyed points in a positive/neutral/social manner, instead of an anti-social manner. But nobody knows - because IDs are not being revealed.

On the other hand, I didn't notice anything bad when truthsayer was posting under 'claypot'.

Hopefully details about the reason for the disappearance of 'claypot' from the member database is revealed when Camille gets back.
