Here's my take on the MPAsquared situation.
Like all of us, she wants to contribute and participate in the discussions on massageplanet.net anonymously. So she came up with a persona with which to do that. Like we all did. Based on my reading many of her posts, this massageplanet.net persona probably reflects quite accurately her real character, which as an MPA is also probably hidden most of the time. Because let's face it, how many of the MPAs we know use their real names? I'd say very few to none.
So by being MPAsquared, this young lady has an opportunity to "be herself" in the community she works in without letting it be known who she really is.
As far as self promotion, she is so careful about not telling us who she is, that self promotion is completely out of the question.
As for what she brings to the board, I think her insights from the other side of the table are priceless, her cerebral sense of humour is right up there with the best of them, and the ongoing mystery of who she really is is a game some of us willing follow along and others can simply ignore if they so chose.
I bet she never thought her meagre existence on the board would take on a life of its own, but it turns out that it has.
For those of you who are tired of her posts, just ignore them and let the rest of us enjoy what she has to say. It has become part of the fun here at massageplanet.net.
