This just suddenly occurred to me yesterday. I have typically always cited members' user names in my replies to posts. I'll usually start out by saying: "Hello (member's name)." To me at least this feels at least a bit more personal. (I don't know if it comes across that way to anyone I reply to.) When members close their channels, their user names are removed & are replaced by "Anonymous....". But in any replies I've written to threads that have become anonymous (but are still readable in the forums) my citation of their names would still appear in my reply (I would presume) thus disclosing who posted the thread to begin with. So now I wonder if perhaps I should not be citing members' user names in my replies. How do other members feel about this?
