People know people. People who move to other towns could be as easily harassed as those who live in Victoria. Given that the community of people who move to other specific cities is quite small, someone could easily isolate who HHV is if they knew where he lived now and wanted to do so.<br /><br />May not happen off of this blog for the general public.

The truth is that I discovered this blog after I bought a house. (I know this doesn't make any sense to you because, as a homeowner, I must surely be so busy with home maintenance and yard work that I couldn't possibly have time to read a blog!)<br /><br />I would have liked to have bought a house in Victoria before the run-up in prices, but undergrads in university are usually unable to buy a house.<br /><br />------------------<br /><br /><em>I kind of like Introvert being around - makes us stay honest.</em><br /><br />a simple man, thanks for saying that.<br /><br />All of you must know that if it weren't for EatMe and me, this blog would be a deafening echo-chamber of bearish groupthink.Introverthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03333045260631104757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123542260692860177.post-16850234078020590582011-11-11T19:01:23.667-08:002011-11-11T19:01:23.667-08:00I kind of like Introvert being around - makes us s...I kind of like Introvert being around - makes us stay honest.

We're all anonymous here.<br /><br />Let's say a guy starts a blog about investing in gold. He runs it for a while, develops a community, then mentions to his readers that he decided to sink all his cash into a precious metal other than gold. Which one? Oh, that doesn't matter.
