Ever confused by anonymitiy? (15)

In a truly anonymous chat, what is to keep a person from getting so immersed in a discussion that they forget what they have written and start inadvertently responding to themselves? Some writing styles are unique enough that a person has a good chance of being anonymously unique, but most are not.

I suppose it's possible, but for most of us it would take months to forget a thread on site where threads are long-lived enough to be forgotten and then responded to again. Add to that the reluctance most of us have to responding to old discussions, and yeah. Very unlikely.

I've actually done this two or three times when posting in 4-ch threads that have been around for a really long time.

A more active discussion with many users was implied. It could definitely happen for long running threads.

I considered that possibility and dismissed it because I didn't think most people are that mentally challenged.

I used to think the same thing, but the past few years lean toward a general decline in intelligence and focus.

I'm reading this entire thread as if one person has written it.

I think once I saw a post here that I related to and responded to it.

...then noticed that the post was more than a year old, someone had bumped it, and that I had written something like that years ago.

I dunno if I was >>11, >>3, both, or neither...

I think I posted in the thread and said something along those lines, though
