Yeah most people who know me already know that I'm a geek so I just say 'one of my message board friends said...'
With other people, who I'm still trying to keep up the facade of coolness with, I just make vague references to 'someone I know...' or similar.

Haha I'm giggling in the corner also, and I'm sure it's not just because it's so late at night (for me)!! 
DH sometimes refers to this site as Oh, Bay-by! in fun, but I never really thought about ppl taking it the wrong way!!

It does depend who I am talking to.
My mum thinks this place has been great for me as I have meet people from all over the country and I have other people that have the same things going on as me. She also thinks that it is cool that Josh shares his birthday with another person who we know but haven't met. She thought is was really nice that we gave each other birthday presents and we have never met.
Most of my friends know I am here all the time and don't really care.

I do that too, sometimes when I'm talking to people IRL I have to stop myself from calling Ian DH. His name's so short anyway I don't even know why I shorten it further.
I quote OB mums all the time and usually say it came from 'one of the girls', 'a friend' or 'online/ohbaby'. Unless it's something really brilliant, then I say that I came up with it all by myself
There are a couple of reasons I don't always say "from a forum", first being I consider many of you to be my friends now *aah..group hug*  so saying that it came from a friend is easier and truthful.
The other reason, particularly when talking to medical profs, is that many seem to see the internet and online forums as scare mongerers and I don't want the valuable information and advice that I have received from you all to be discounted simply because we communicate online.
