    I was thinking (dangerous, I know)

    With the anonymity of the internet and use of screen names, do you think that maybe there's people on the MDS forums that you know, have met, went to school with, etc...BUT you didn't know they were on here?

    I was born and raised in St. Mary's County - we tend to know most everyone from here, or at least have mutual friends/relatives...(SMIBs)

    I found out one of the guys I saw regularly at work was on here, not that we were buddies, but it was definitely a surprise to put a face to a avatar unexpectedly. It's one thing to meet guys that you've talked to on here and know they're members from the get, it's another entirely to have been active on the forums for a while, and one day find out the guy you argued with about railing Stephanie is your cousin.

    My half brother is on here. I met him one time about 15 years ago. His name is Michael.

    My Father was only in my life for a VERY short time 2 times in my life (Once at 10, and once at 19). Its one of his 2 sons.


    Generally I dont have the anynomity issue because people know my full name.

    My relatives are from Harlan Kentucky. Moonshiners, Bootlegers and Drug Runners. Nothing really suprises me when it comes to screwed up family stuff. :lol2:

    I had an uncle from Nevada on my biological fathers side on Americas Most Wanted when I was around 16 . My fathers whole side of the family is "special" I dont associate with them . Was pretty bad for my father as he is retired LEO.

    Many of my family are from Kentucky too, a bit north and west of Harlan, though. I'm waiting for Justified to begin again, also. Too bad they film it all in California, I believe.

    Found someone! Served in the Army in Germany with him in '01.
    Recommended the site to him on Facebook, his wife outed him and said he's already familiar with the site...like every day familiar.
    Lol, so am I.
