Welcome to Steemit. You have a wide range of reading/experiences and I look forwards to reading some of your contributions where our interests overlap. I too am new here, joining two days ago. I have found the community to be welcoming, with several random acts of generosity for which I am thankful and in awe.

As to your desire for anonymity, not for myself or others to judge based on that. If your words hold value they will stand on their own.
