I seem to remember a time when posters to this site would use their real

What are they afraid off?
I know that when I see some of the ridiculous names ans fake email
addresses that some use I have my doubts about the questions being
serious and / or genuine.

I've always used an invalid email address when posting to this
*newsgroup*. (Sorry, couldn't resist that.)

I stopped using my "real" name years ago as John is simply too common.
I now use what was my school nickname, a pronunciation of my initials
J and K and I have explained this here before now.

And, of course, having never met my "oppo" at the other end of the
Bay, I don't *know* that David Hill is his real name. Must dash to
check that I am, in fact, who I think I am.
