Subject: RE: David Kidman: An Apology
I think that honesty in identity is essential in maintaining the trust we Mudcatters have in earch other. I'm not completely sure that I would recommend that all Mudcatters use their own name - that's your choice. There are a number of Mudcatters who are reasonably well-known performers, who use pseudonyms as their user names - and I think that's a good idea. I'm thinking of people like kendall, anglo, DebC, and many others. In general, regular Mudcatters know who these people are, but still they have some protection because their full name is not what appears in the "from" box.
Dave, I might suggest that if could be better for you to keep posting as "MoorleyMan," and have me close off the David Kidman membership. Your identity as "MoorleyMan" is already well-established here. Why drop it? You might consider posting as Moorley Man, but then signing your posts with "Dave Kidman" at the end when appropriate.
