The desire to put a bit of yourself "out there" is what motivates a person to write their own page.  I described it to one woman as "vanity publishing; this way everyone can be their own publisher."  That's one view of it.

These days that usually means keeping up a page on MySpace, etc. or constantly updating a blog or Twitter. [we won't discuss FACEBOOK] I would guess that most of the folks who do those haven't been harassed on the Net much. I got some of that once and don't care for it, so you won't find my real name on this page. [go look on Facebook…]

Some of the links on the left will open in this area. Others will open in a new page or tab, because they need the full page width. Simply close them to return to this page.
