What do you say?

I'm not averse to showing myself, but after my current avatar the real me would be a big letdown.

Not everything is false. People do reveal themselves on the internet and especially in fora. Of course not everyone reveals their true selves and not everyone that reveals himself/herself will necessarily reveal everything. There are the two ends of the spectrum where on one end a person will reveal nothing and on the other end is the person who will reveal everything. I believe that most people fall into the middle and reveal part of themselves. The question then, dear reader, is where do you fall into? As for me I am in the middle. I have revealed some of who and what I really am, but I have not revealed everything.
