I'm at an advantage because both Glammanana and I know each other and live about 5 minutes away, so we both know who we are as we have done for a number of years.

Here too! I have met some super Gransnetter. I think I fall into the “once seen, never forgotten!” category?!

I’ve met quite a few GNers Artdeco who are all the genuine article’ but I know what you mean, and think from time to time any forum, even ones for seniors do get infiltrated by goodness knows who.grin

Always a risk with people using pseudonyms but still worth persevering. There are certain posters whose input I don’t read because they will always subvert a thread to their particular ends. You get to recognise them and ignore their contributions. Mostly I find the threads I follow interesting and positive.

Lots of us Grans meet up in Scotland and Grans from elsewhere join us as welcome launchers.

I agree tanith I have met up with other GN members.
Forums are open to abuse.

We will never know ?unless we meet in person which I do with 3 other Gransnetters.

Having been on forums for a while now, I have noticed that there are a few people who always seem to disrupt a discussion. That led me to wonder if people are who they are purporting to be. After all I could be a 6’8” , 400 pound hairy rugby player aged 22. You would never know. What do you think?
