Readers come here with a lot of questions, some of them personal — and there are often differing opinions on how the OP should handle the dilemma! If you posed your question here, we'd love to hear from you — how did it work out?
(We also have a lot of long-time commenters who've published under the same handle/nom de plume over the years, and have either gone anonymous, changed their handle, or decreased their involvement to lurking/checking sporadically. If this is you, we'd love to hear from you also with an update on your life or even just an “all's well!” kind of update.
(Readers, if you're on this page checking for a particular update — feel free to request one also! If you can drop any links to any previous threads for context, that would always be hugely appreciated.)
