treat a fellow CD poster- if you somehow caught wind/found out they were actually someone world famous (with a good rep)...

1) Would you let the cat out of the bag and tell others on CD, or in your life?
2) Would you treat them with more or less respect?
3) Would you suddenly check their posts every single day?
4) Would you start coming on to them?
5) Would you ask them for special favors (introductions to other famous people,favors, money pleas, etc., etc.)???

What would you do???

2) Would you treat them with more or less respect? Maybe, depending on who they are.
3) Would you suddenly check their posts every single day? Probably.. curiosity.
4) Would you start to coming on to them? No.
5) Would you ask them for special favors (introductions to other famous, money, etc., etc.)??? No

Answers in bold. I'd find the whole thing funny.

Probably nothing. It wouldn't matter.

I love the anonymity of the internet. It allows uncommon people to fraternize with common people when they normally can't.

Of course this can be a great thing in certain circumstances, or a nightmare in others (like with predators).
