Is July 2019 "within the last few months"?

The page didn't have Exeter as his location a few months ago.

I am not sure that I know what you mean.  Do you mean Hidden Members?  Perhaps they are paranoid.  But then who cares?

No one has come gunning for me despite knowing exactly who I am and where to find me.  Courtesy of Mr. Bennett.

No.  I was just making a point however it comes.  It will find me if anyone so chooses.

You can have anonymous.  I have never been so.  I put my money where my mouth is.

We have numerous people who follow the forum daily and who are well known public figures. I suppose it gives them a sense of security.

Actually, this not what it is all about.  They are just lurking with their Forum Names and hoping that no one noticed.

Or they are just Members who never comment.  Does anyone care?

Why?  They don't have to Register to read The Forum.  Blimmin Hell, who are these people?

Thanks a bunch.  Too afraid to say on whose side they are.

LOL.   I think Davel means forum members who have their online status set to “hidden” as I have.  I did it years ago for a laugh and now I can’t remember how to undo it.

I did mine some time ago because it was suggested.  I remember how to undo it but when I tried it didn't work, but I've got used to it now and experience shows me it enables the avoidance of a lot of unnecessary flak.

It has it's advantages as no one is aware which moderator is "on".   I have not tried it, but I'm tempted.

That's right...I noticed one mod was hidden but it's quite easy to check if that mod is online as the status shows on the profile...perhaps they don't realise that

I don't know if I am allowed to do this.  And wouldn't know how anyway.  Put your money where your mouth is, as they say in France.
