Welcome readers! Sit back and get ready to read some intriguing questions and answers with some of the most common people on the Internet.
Here are a few FAQs about this blog to get you started:
Who is being interviewed?
Bloggers, visitors to message boards and chat rooms, people whose e-mail addresses can be found online.
Why are some people identified and others not?
We want the site to be open to all people who use the Internet, some of whom would like the opportunity to be interviewed in order to promote their work or their ideas. In other words, they want you to know who they are. Others are just taking the opportunity to share their ideas and experiences without the fear of those ideas and experiences coming back to haunt them.
Why are interviewees allowed to only use their first names or ficticious names?
The idea of Interviews with Rita Mae Baker is to have great conversations with real people, with real opinions, facing real issues, who live in the real world, where no one can be too protective of his or her identity. Allowing interviewees to speak anonymously increases the chances of presenting readers with more interesting and honest conversations about a wide range of topics.
If people are making up their names, how do we know they aren't making up fictious answers to your questions?
You don't. Part of the reality of the Internet and today's world is that with such a "flow of information and opinions" everything you read, even (or maybe especially) from the "mainstream media" must be taken with a proverbial grain of sand. I will do my best not to knowingly publish dishonest answers and will take special care to ensure that interviews are listed as the opinions expressed by the interviewee.
If you have other questions you would like for me to answer here, please feel free to submit them in the comments section. Remember also, I am interested in interviewing anyone about anything or something specific. Send me an e-mail if you are interested in being a part of the interview process.
