Yes, my name is Annalise in the game. I have nothing to hide. As I said in my post, I didn't intend to be harsh. Clearly, you all have a small community here where you are familiar with one another. I didn't have the time to go through the posts here, something which I have since done on a very limited basis, so there was no way I could have known that you were all familiar with each other.

My concern was that, since everyone else was simply leaving their codes, the long post from Ms. SeekerGirl going into a lengthy and what I thought was a strange discussion about her granddaughter, the whole "street training" thing and the fact that she wanted to be "friended" for only a week and then deleted, that her post was suspicious, and I was trying, in the least threatening way, to cause others to think twice before accepting her into their games, and thereby, their iPhones or iPads, and ultimately, their lives.

For 16 years I owned a successful web development company and I have seen too many people experience injuries of every kind after being charmed by someone who seems harmless. Knowing that there was the probability that she was on the up and up, I chose my words carefully. At my age I swear you'd think I'd finally gotten it into my head that no good deed goes unpunished.

I was successful at this game without assistance from this or any other website before I downloaded the latest OS and lost my game and I will be again.

You know, it was the safety of all the people here who are here that I wrote that post to begin with. You could take a note from your own comments about me and consider being kinder to strangers who are trying to protect your interests.
