    Question "Invisible" mode. What's all that about?

    What's the point of "invisible" mode, when people who are in it appear in the who's online list with an * after their name and a red dot in their header rather than a green dot to show that they're online?

    Emperor's new clothes, or am I missing something?

    Didn't you ask this before? lol And the * shows you that they are invisable since mods can see invisable peaple.

    Do they? I'm pretty sure the point of being Invisible is that you're NOT on the online list! It even says that...

    On that basis then, my lips are sealed. I won't reveal who "isn't" here...

    It may be the individuals are afraid of human contact?

    Maybe the whole lurking thing works for them online, whereas if you do it on real life, you get arrested or told to stop it ?

    Havn't you ever wanted to be a fly on the wall?

    The few times I have chosen to be invisible here I have usually had a rather negative attitude on, kinda felt like being unsociable, not wanting others to see that I'm here just in case they decide to PM me or expect me to post comment when all I want to do is pity myself in silence...silly behaviour really IMO.

    Heres the origin of "Describes to to a tee" for you JR

    Then again, the expression "to a tee" (or just "to a T"), meaning "exactly, perfectly," predates t-shirts by quite a bit, having first appeared in print in 1693, while "t-shirt" dates only to the early 20th century (and "tee" as an abbreviation of "t-shirt" dates only to the 1970s). T-shirts, by the way, are so called because they form a "T" when laid flat.

    There are a number of theories about the origin of "to a tee," ranging from the "tee" used in golf to an architect's "T-square." It is also possible that it began as a reference to "crossing one's t's and dotting one's i's," i.e., being very precise, accurate and careful.

    It is also possible that "to a tee" originally referred to a word beginning with the letter "T," and here things get interesting. The leading suspect seems to be the word "tittle," originally meaning "a small stroke or mark made in handwriting," for instance, the dot over an "i," the cross of a "t," or the "tilde" mark commonly used in Spanish. ("Tittle," incidentally, comes from the Latin "titulus," meaning "inscription," which also gave us "title.") Bolstering the "tittle" origin is the fact that the word was also used to mean "a very small amount or part of something," and the phrase "to a tittle," with the same meaning as "to a tee," was in use for nearly a century before "to a tee" appeared.

    If "tittle" sounds familiar, it's probably most often heard in the phrase "jot and tittle," meaning "a tiny amount." The word "jot," also meaning "the smallest part," comes from "iota," the Greek name for the letter "i," the smallest in the alphabet. "Iota," of course, is still used to mean "something very small."

    Simple reason is to because sometimes you can only get online for a few minutes and if someone sends you a PM and you go offline they get pissed at you thinking your ignoring them when your not, and some people only reply when they know the person isnt online so by hiding they are lulled into a false sense of security - why does everyone have to question everything around here, is the tea running out?
