Running into TN members (or vice-versa) at nudist venues

So I just got back from vacation (nude beaches on the French Riviera aren't what they used to be - but that's a different topic) and saw that a few people here are trying to meet up at "my" resort; on the day I will be there with the wifey. I started responding to the thread; and froze.

I then imagined a scenario where someone I've never met or talked to walked right up to my wife and I and exclaimed: "Nudony?! Fancy meeting you here! I'm "nkdbidude" from Truenudism! Nice to meet you and Liz; I've really enjoyed reading about Liz getting so comfortable being naked!"

The situation - which is probably an exaggeration of what would actually happen - would certainly make me laugh. The wife: probably not so much. She knows I'm active on nudist sites; but her first thought would probably be: "why is my husband informing the whole world about our nudist life and whereabouts, and how much is he sharing about me?!" And I would get an earful. Not only that but such an approach would put her off completely. It's one thing to meet someone at the resort and be "properly" introduced. It's another to have someone walk right up to you like they "know you" (especially for my wife while she's completely naked).

So I'm wondering have others have dealt with this. It's nice to meet other nudists from TN; but a spouse or S/O might not feel the same way. There are 2 or 3 people here (like Andy and RockD) whom I've known long enough that I would actually have no problem telling my wife we'd meet them at the resort. But a "nkdbidude" whom I've never even heard about? It would really depend on how he approaches us...

Thoughts?

RE:Running into TN members (or vice-versa) at nudist venues

I had this happen one day when my wife and I visited our closest resort. We hadn't been there long and a man came over, excused himself, and then asked if I was "Oldfrog". I told him I was indeed and he proceeded to introduce himself by his first name and then added his TN user name. I introduced my wife by her first name and then added my own. We had a very pleasant visit. He behaved exactly as I would have expected a friend to behave and he never said or did anything that made Judy at all uncomfortable.
