Yesterday I was putting together my "hold us over" women cards when I came down to NB's name. I'd not looked at the name before that moment and it seemed to be a very curious name. I Googled it and I'm now of the opinion that it's not his/her real name.
As Soft Silver rightly says... we have no idea why this person was banished. True! And... I have no idea why this person did not use his/her real name ... or what seems to be something other than his/her real name. Certainly there are legitimate reason for maintaining one's privacy but it's a bit odd to sign up for a postcard exchange and not use your real info while everyone else is using their real info. Of course... from what I can tell... from what I'm assuming anyway... everyone who's participating appears to be using a real info!
So, I was bout to send him/her a card until I noticed the name... Googled the name... and became suspicious of the name. I'm not sending him/her a card for the simple fact that he/she is not fully trusting us and
that causes me concern.
As Soft Silver says... act cautiously!
P.S. And FYI... this is the first time I've ever felt the need or curiosity to Google someone from this site.

I did talk to Medusa briefly about him, and was told he is suspected to be a former member who was timed out, but I have no idea why that member was timed out. I suggest you ask Ms Medusa about it if you have other inquiries.
I also want to state that anytime we "meet" people electronically that they can be who they present themselves to be...or could be anyone else. Act accordingly. I have met some very real and wonderful people on the internet. And some not so real ones. I only state the warning to be careful because people seemed worried about NB. My point is, if you dont know someone, you should ALWAYS use precaution. But without some risk, we might not ever meet the truly good people on the internet. Chose your actions. Act wisely. Enjoy but stay safe.
sound good?
My postcards went out today! two for everyone!
