No, not stupid at all, actually I've thought about it. A friend suggested it to me, but I'm not sure if I'd ever be comfortable with it. Not to trash reddit or anything, but I find the posting community here really awesome, and would probably have a pretty low tolerance for any trolling that would pop up there or pretty much anywhere else. It was hard even posting this and I'm not quite ready to "go public" because things may blow up and get out of hand.

It's kind of funny though, because there's at least one case (can't find the link right now) of some guy making a totally BS claim about amnesia in order to get attention and a book deal. A lot of news places ran the story and as someone with the real deal and more than a lay person's knowledge of memory and language, it was obvious to me that he was making it up! I don't even think about it these days as so unusual and attention worthy, since people - either due to being self-involved or discomfort with the situation - often don't really even react when I tell them about it.
