Why Pegasus? I've a question tho...can a non-member view our convos as in casual forums I've seen online? I'm not forum savvy...this is my only experience really. Is our stuff here private or is it just profiles and such? This may sound idiotic but I really don't know.

Anyone can read the forums, threads and posts unless it is a private forum but I believe you have to be a member to look at profiles.

Not at all scared. I know my "carers" are way too busy to want to find me online, and even if they tried, I think they would be put off by having to read English.

Researchers, I don't care about. I have been in real studies.

Now.... relatives and friends... ack! If they found me online, I would die! There is a forum where I've been very open about things and I have pics and stuff there so...... Risk is minimal. But still.

They might actually learn some compassion from us!
