If any of us meet IRL, I would gladly give you my "real" name (what's a name, really?)...
I was just thinking... OMG... I've had an online presence since 1996. And I still have the same original hotmail account I first started then (back when Hotmail was independent, free, and simple - pre MS days). I rarely use it, but I keep it active.
I've dumped FB, and Twitter, and really don't do any other social stuff online except here. Been at it so long, I just got tired of the crap.
Oh, I met my hubby online in '96. It took a couple of years (1998) before we evolved from friends to lovers (got married in '99), but we are among the earliest of online matches that worked out (oh, it wasn't through a dating site, either.)
