Something I have noticed on this board - sometimes the guests outnumber the members . Anybody know anybody who regularly reads the posts but is not a member . Just curious .

Well some of the guests could also be members. I mean unless you're permanently logged in, then when you first check the forum you show up as a guest.

When I was over at KH's IMDb page someone named tickner recommended this forum. I was suprised, unless a member on this site goes by that name over there...I thought no one outside of our tiny little forum knew about this place.

I suspect quite a few members have different aliases on various boards - and it's not usually too difficult to work out who's who. But it's up to them whether or not they wish to "reveal" themselves.
And by the way, can't say I've noticed the name "Shaun" pop up on IMDB...? LOL

I feel like I have been unmasked - my true identity has been revealed .
Smith

My name on IMDb is asw88--I'm terrible at creating catchy usernames. Unless I'm mistaken I think I've seen Judy on that board as Judysamkh...that was an easy one.

My name on IMDb is asw88--I'm terrible at creating catchy usernames. Unless I'm mistaken I think I've seen Judy on that board as Judysamkh...that was an easy one. Hi, Shaun: I'm not judging anybody who uses other names for fun, but I don't feel the need. So I use the same name and address on imdb that I use here - the samkh is just part of my last name coupled with someone's initials....now, WHOSE could those be? :-). IMDB is a bad, bad place as far as I am concerned, where someone who was in THIS forum under a different name posts regularly. In this particular instance this person is an equal opportunity offender -- not just to people who write about Kate, but elsewhere on that site. I post there occasionally when I find the conversation among the more civil participants enlightening or fun. And on occasion I post a response to this nightmare of a human being when I can no longer stomach the stuff that she spews. But she's really not worth the grey matter, time or energy. Someone like that feels the need to use other names because they think it doubles the anonymity, once their personalities become known, and gives them the freedom to start all over again with a clean slate. But then they start posting and give themselves away instantly, just like they did here. And I have no doubt that eventually they will surface under some other clever little name and lurk here again, just as I believe they could be lurking in other groups in which I participate. I find it all so silly and childish, really. For instance, some of us in THIS forum actually KNEW each other from different groups and had been writing on this forum not knowing that we were writing to people we already knew. And I honestly don't get that. I know people like to remain anonymous, but I just think it's a little high school...Oops, sorry, most of you are still IN high school. :-) But I think you know what I mean and I hope no one takes offense cause none is intended for ANYONE in this forum. I think you guys are just having fun, which is what this should be, in my opinion. And every now and then we all get to learn something new or different about KH from one another . Judy

Judy, I think I know who you are talking about and you're right--she is pretty nightmarish. She ALLEGEDLY knows a lot about Kate but has absolutely no people skills and proceeds to attack anyone and everyone no matter what message board or forum she is on. That's enough about her...
There have been several mentions on this thread of other Kate discussion sites...which ones are you guys talking about?

Which sites are we talking about ? In my case probably the one that I was thrown out of by said person .
The reason I use an alias is that I have a very distinctive surname and if anybody spammed me I would have to change my email address - which would be very inconvenient . Glad to know that my recruitment methods have paid off on the IMBD board .

Anyone with whom you share a trip to KH's grave to pay respects is a pal for life.... Like I said, I know some people have perfectly justifiable reasons for the names.....And others - like the horror we all know - just does it to hide behind her rudeness.... And Shaun? She has a lot of dates in her head. And comes to all the wrong conclusions; just like Leaming. That's about all I'd trust her on in terms of her knowledge of Kate. And I'd be skeptical about that, too..... Judy

Hi Shaun -- Have to second Judy's comments in regard to "nightmare woman" -- she purports to know a lot about Kate but fact is, she twists a lot of the information to fit her view of Kate which, frankly, is not a very nice one. She always reveals her true disregard for Kate's career and her artistry when the puts forth or endorses the idea that Kate wouldn't have survived the Forties if she hadn't been teamed with Tracy. She can't admit that their teaming was a mutually beneficial alliance -- personally and professionally. In her world, it is Tracy who is her real focus, and she takes many opportunities to diss Kate EXCEPT if it's a situation where it would reflect negatively on Tracy.
Re: using aliases on websites -- I agree with Judy -- I use my real name.
