I suffer from a near-terminal form of selfedititis. I learned something - mostly that I am not alone! So easy to get a 'great idea' and puke it out on my blog. Thanks and I will take more time and be more thorough as a result of reading this!Tim Hanni MWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11172259599335529027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210235767643862872.post-11966505205927450222010-11-16T16:48:11.479-08:002010-11-16T16:48:11.479-08:00Mountford: I won't say that my online persona ...Mountford: I won't say that my online persona is not me, but it is only a certain aspect. Two big differences between the real me and the online me are politeness and projected confidence. <br /><br />Since we're talking about writing, here's a free tip: Don't weaken your point like you would in person.
