    I think it's like putting someone on speaker phone without telling them, it just a common courtesy to let folks know who is participating. I find eavesdropping kind of 'disturbing' and if you didn't want to be disturbed then why get on and post?

    and if 'they are watching' then it should be fair to be watched in return.

    it's none of other people's business what kind of underwear you wear, but if you walk down the public forum street in them, don't be surprised if people notice what color they are.

    Hey burrocrat - How about filling in your location.

    (You know I'm just board, right?)

    two shay. i think a certain amount of discretion is ok, but peepin and poppin i don't like. like stimpy said, the goose and gander thing is 'ok in my book', or maybe it was ren. and they may have been talking about a nose goblin collection, but who can forget powdered toast man?

    i posted my location on my jail card, but i surrendered that to the authorities to get out of a sticky situation at the gym. besides, i think folks found it disturbing, not being able to see my face and all.

    i'm board too, gotta have a hobby.

    Smile Re: Invisible Mode

    Folks,

    Sneaky was a joke...

    I don't think the 'Red Button' protects anyone from log entries - especially if you write something during hard labor hours. When you should be breaking rocks you shouldn't be writing posts. Everything in moderation.

    And, I think the TSP bubbas can get a list of rapid traders without referencing rapid posting on this site. Did anyone get poked by their supervisor around the time of the Great IFT Ruling?
    Lookin' up at the 'G Fund'!!!

    Talking Re: Invisible Mode

    my control (admittedly not always in gear) for not posting TOO impulsively is to read before signing in, so I don't ALWAYS go off half cocked & shoot someone in the foot! And it is convenient if I know I have only a few minutes to do a quick review of who is where, and maybe why.

    But then there are times I am so overwhelmed by the need to see what the `tsptalk members only' attachment is, I HAVE to get signed in, immediately!
    Aside from that - I wasn't even aware there was a `red' option!

    Shoot - all this time I been looking to see who is on board & thinking about whether I have something I'd like to share with or ask them, & maybe even use proper grammer...never include advised sentence structure, tho - that goes agin my grain...... and it turns out they might be on board, but are safe from harrassment!
