“i dunno how samir has missed an obvious question that instantly occurs to anyone who reads your comment! or how he could ignore that question if it did occur to him!”

I don’t know! The question didn’t occur to me. It’s probably because my guess was good enough for me, and didn’t leave room for curiosity.

Or maybe I predicted Tololy giving a mysterious answer, that will keep us wondering. Just kidding :)

This anonymity subject is getting more attention than I thought.

Devil’s Mind; that is a very good question. I think it is too early to answer you though. Tololy’s Box is still too young to embody a certain message, if indeed it was set up to deliver one message or the other.

Dusty Wood, I understand your concern and it is well called-for.
I do not think I avoid giving information about myself because of the climate in Jordan, whatever that climate may be.

I think Jordan is one of the best places in the region for people to open up and express their individuality.

Dusty, I honestly do not know why my profile picture is getting this much attention.

I hope my readers would not dwell on this subject and neglect what the entries in the Box talk about.
If I were to design an answer, I would say I think it is because I am veiled and chances are that my displaying a profile picture seems unusual, or controvesial, or something of the sort, to some.

Thank you for the final remark though, the picture was taken by a six year old. Believe it or not :)

You know… I had a conversation about my level of anonymity on my blog…(Which there is none) and it was about how it affects other people (namely my wife)…I have no desire to censor any bit of my identity…but I have a desire to protect my wife and therefore I have to be careful not to reveal to much when it comes to her identity…But me… what the heck why bother? I avoid secrets to avoid temptation to lie.

A question for Tololy…Do you avoid giving information because of the climate there? I have noticed a lot of people remarking about your picture and how they think it ill-advised…what’s that all about?
(as a photographer I have to say that you did a good job framing the shot to reveal as little as possible about yourself…)

what kind of audience, and what kind of messages u are trying to send through your blog?

I find it interesting how different our views are about “how much is ok to reveal”.

I think this difference is due to our different understandings, or definitions, of “who we are”. Which I find VERY interesting.
… in addition to our different reasons behind creating our blogs, I think.

Thank you Tololy and Devil’s Mind! I got a bit smarter this evening.

Devil’s Mind; I do expect some people to understand them. I think I have a couple of Italian regulars, if I am not mistaken.

Anonymous, who’s asking?
