ebay; why ...

I think some forums discourage/ban the mentioning of other sites on their site, as it's free advertising for a competitor. At least, that used to be the case, I think nowadays though, it's just a way of having a dig at something you don't like, such as 'fleabay' or 'M$'.

I got my first computer when in 1990, I was 6. I had my first modem a year or two later. I was dialing into BBS' when most of my peers were on the level of "watch Jane run."
I've been the "Spleenrippa" for so long that it's not hiding anymore- neither of us can exist without the other 😛

Many people value privacy more than you apparently do. Most people do not mind sharing their identity with others they interact with directly. They simply may not wish to expose themselves to the entire world.

It is not cowardly to prefer privacy to a "facebook" existence.
