Maybe it's an indication that more forum members who are sick of the BS are migrating to traditional lists, participants seem rarely use their real names and rarer still use surnames. Staying anonymous means it's far easier to shaft other people and stay unaccountable and for anyone to keep their name out of web archives which would otherwise prove to future employers etc that they really are a twat. I think it's a great that the majority of us here still adhere to using our real names, I think it fosters a great deal more respect and camaraderie let alone the quality of on-list dialogue.
