Why do you browse invisibly?

I've noticed probably half of you browse the forums in invisible mode (though I can still see you ) - I'm curious why you hide out. I could understand if you were lurking, but I am talking active posters - posting gives you away anyway.

It's so nobody knows what an obsessive freak I am. Leave me alone, okay?

Well obviously so nobody knows how much time I'm here, or how often I return!

I hate forums where I can't hide that way - don't ever change it!

Is there a way to tell if we're invisible or not?



edit: I found it. I don't even remember setting it invisible. Must have been that day the voices were in control again.

Hee! I noticed that option the other day while digging through preferences so I could hide a couple of obnoxious sections of the forum. Perhaps I'll check that box so I can invisibly browse the obnoxious sections I've hidden from myself.

For much the same reason as my Gtalk online status is perpetually set to "who knows?". I'm at my machine and away from it on such a random, flitting basis that any indicator of my state is likely to be wrong. I'll often open an SLU tab and have it open for days which would look far more pathetic than I'd like to project.

I've noticed the option but like Cris, I couldn't really see the need for it. I don't mind if people see which threads I'm reading at the moment. I generally have like six of them open in separate tabs at once so it probably shows me as reading them all at the same time. No telling which one I'm actually in at any given moment.

I often forget I have a tab set to SLU or wander away from my computer for short, supervised periods of time. And I am training to be a spy, so this is practice.
