Does this convince you I am an American?

One of the great things about the internet is that anonymity is the great equalizer. All personal claims are totally unverifiable in any meaningful sense and are therefore, irrelevant. People regularly claim various credentials, and most of us tend to take them with a grain of salt. This is a good thing, in my opinion. It more or less forces us to judge one another based on the content of our posts without the distractions of things like age, appearance, social status, occupation or nationality creating influences which might otherwise bias how much weight is given to any particular opinion. Being slightly familiar with your viewpoints, I would think that this egalitarian aspect of YA would appeal to you. So I would urge you to embrace your anonymity. Here, you are what you say you are and your posts speak for themselves.
