I post under my real full name with full knowledge that what I say is probably being archived somewhere. Everyone here has to understand that there is no way MD can prevent someone from archiving this list and making it public.
Having said that, I don't really have any problem with someone posting under an alias. There are a huge number of reasons people might post under an alias including employment, religious, friends, family, and/or political reasons. I personally know people who've worked for Chic-fil-A here in Atlanta and who've had to even hide the fact that they lived with their sig other (unmarried) because that particular company is so conservative and it would cause waves. Would I want to work at a place like that? No. However I can respect someone's need for privacy and discretion they do. I really don't see why it's even relevant that someone use their real name - if someone wants anonymity on this list, let em have it. I really see no benefit to knowing someone's real name on his specific list except to use as a source of information to bully them in an argument or make more refined and specific personal attacks against them. -Cameron Todd wrote: > I don't give my last name, but it's hardly difficult to figure out who I am > with just a little searching.
