Subject: RE: Why not join- it has it advantages!
Hey, I use my real name, and it works for me. Dogs, women, and children love me. But generally, I'm not completely sure it's completely safe for anyone, especially a woman or child, to use a complete name on the Internet - even though I do it myself.
I know there's a belief that many regular Mudcatters log out and use false identities when they want to cause problems. I've watched that with my Magic eye for quite some time, and I can tell you that doesn't happen very often. Most people who post anonymously, always post anonymously. Regular Mudcatters who aren't logged in, usually type in their usual name in the "from" box - they rarely use names other than their usual names.
