What does it means if there are post's that were shaded dark gray or light gray. Are they being marked or noted for, for having sense or non-sense topic/ideas. Or it is just common.

Also, what is everyone purpose of only using Pseudo names, no emails but can give many input on this forum.

Are we avoiding some kinds of what? or we don't want to be identified, for if we have said some foul statements then we are in trouble. Being a legal law abiding citizen and we talk legitimate issues - why should we hide our identity, but sometimes we also come to know the person personality on their write up on good posts that not knowing it is one way of data gathering.

I am just curious to know why? as being said, there is no non-sense questions.

Just forgive me if I step on your privacy.

Thank you.

Perhaps my reason was anonymity. I just got on the internet a couple months ago. I was pretty excited when I discovered this place. I was worried, however, as to how I would be accepted. Everyone's been great. My alias is fun though. It's like having personalized license plates on your car that pertains to your hobby or whatever.

Exactly! I chose my moniker "1911Heaven" simply to convey my affinity for this particular incarnation of John Browning's genius. My E-mail address is posted.

Never occurred to me to use a pseudo name.

The name my folks gave me suits me fine...

Hmmm...my username is my name. My e-mail is through my ISP and is also my name. I don't feel a need to be anonymous.

My real name is boring, and I think "Gwinnydapooh" is funny. I'm probably the only one who thinks so, but oh well.

If anyone cares, my name is Don Gwinn. But so is my dad's, so you still don't know who I am. HA! Email is in my profile.

I have no idea what the shaded posts are--do you mean the locked threads, the ones you can't post to anymore? Usually those are locked because the debate turned into fighting or name-calling (flames) or the content is inappropriate. Sometimes that only means the content was inappropriate for that particular forum, like a rifle question in the handgun forum, so check to see if the thread has been moved. Hope that helps.

I gave up hiding years ago. I also get, and enjoy, personal mail from these posts which doesn't tie up bandwidth on the forum. (Bandwidth, now if that isn't a 90's term.)

You will notice that the light gray and dark gray messages alternate. It's simply done to make reading them easier. ;)

stdalire,
No secrets here either, my profile has e-mail/website address. But I am a Cowboy, (and a Texan) hence, my handle.

JHP: "I just did it 'cause everybody else did. You mean we don't have to?"

That is what I am curious for, some jokingly said bec. they are secret agents. Or maybe when they state something in the forum and not in consonance with their personal standing in life, then it is self contradictory. But checking some data box, some has no mail, country, or whatsoever. But I think it is all part of the game and making the forum lively and interesting.

But observe, many are self confessing as to their identity like me when there is a TOPIC that really make someone to answer not knowing he did so. For instance "The topic how many are LE's or LEO's here", NRA members, No. of guns you have etc. Or when someone say a little bit flamable about LE's then the LE's react and identify themselves but no identity in their data box. Geee!!! it is all intelligence work and very exciting communicating with you all guys.

Thanks,
