The more I think about the premise of this topic, the sillier it seems.
Damon, it's an internet forum. There is NOTHING to defend in picking a screen name. Nothing. If anything, some people would ask if the people using their real names are not too bright.
I include myself in the possibly not too bright group, for purposes of this one forum.
Your insinuations about lack of credibility for not posting under one's "real" name leave a bad taste with me. You of all people are too net savvy not to know better.
Most people I know who ALWAYS use their real name have something they are selling, in some fashion, so that using the name is good business.
For the rest of us, it depends on whether we want to expose ourselves to possible weirdos, and whether we realize the potential for wackos to fixate on us.
Enough with taking some imaginary moral higher ground for posting under a given name. Not buying into it.
