Internets a funny old place in terms of social, HC is largely a place for anonymity, which I guess is understandable with all the vested interests in one financial "thing" or another.
I think a forum like ours here and a few others on HC are different and do encourage more openness and tolerance of our shared humanness, I like that we sometimes share personal stories, it shows more of who we are. There's a certain bravery in posting them IMHO.
