You mean Share Long is your real name? :-D And which Frank Smith or Shirley Johnson is it? I'm all for privacy and anonymity on the Internet. Back in the BB days handles were carry overs from the CB era. Also "memo form" became the standard for messages because 300 baud moments. No bytes to waste for "Dear...." but some people are still stuck in the personal letter mode.
