I commented on Blogfinger, and no one has stolen my identity..

It has come to our attention that some individuals might be intimidated by the regular “comments” process because of privacy concerns.  When you click on “comments” at the bottom of each post, you can sign in using a pseudonym, which is what most commenters do, even though, in the  best of worlds, we would all use our real names.  You also don’t have to give us your email address, although that is the only way I have to privately get back to you for clarification, discussion, etc.

We at Blogfinger are fine with not knowing, and certainly not exhibiting, anyone’s email address, which never occurs.

If any of you want to make a comment using a back door process, simple send your comment by email. You don’t have to use the “contact us” form or the “comments” route.    Just send your comment by regular email to Blogfinger@verizon.net.

Doing that will reveal your email and maybe your name, but we will not post either.  As for your name, tell us your pseudonym, or else we will conjure one up for you.  We will not use your name unless you specifically ask us to do so.

So please join in our discussions.  And if you have an opinion that you want aired out, unrelated to anything currently posted, just send us an email and we will turn it into a “letter to the editor” or a “just wondering” segment.

Thanks,

Paul Goldfinger, editor and master-of-ceremonies at Blogfinger.net
