I don't think I have any friends who come on here, but I don't broadcast my membership.

Golden don't know about the ease of changing but quite a few people have done it and jingle does it regularly. grin Where is she by the way?

I tend not to tell people I am on GN and wouldn't meet up because I too value the anonimity.

No, I didn't, do I have to do something to close my old profile? Thanks.

Forgot to say, you join as a new user, but you may have realised that! smile

I have recently changed my name on here to preserve anonymity. I closed my old account, made up a new name and password, and wrote a new profile. I found it very easy and quite painless smile

This may seem a bit trivial,but I want to ask other Gransnetters if they have good friends who they know have joined Gransnet, not ones they have met on here, and if they do did they change their user name so as to be unidentifiable. I have a very good friend who has just joined, and I know she has guessed who I am, and I'm pretty sure who she is. I have nothing to hide from her, but I do value anonymity on here and there may be times that I may be put off writing stuff because she might read it. the same might apply the other way round "So are there some GNers out there who have changed their names for that reason, is it easy do?
