I should like to know what these "privacy reasons" are that some pseudonym-users claim. Also, I should like to point out to those who conceal their names for "professional reasons" that Dick Gaughan runs a whole discussion site under his name and that he regularly posts on the site, often on the most controversial issues, as Dick Gaughan. I can't imagine what professional damage in the world of traditional music anyone feels they might do to themselves by posting responsibly under their real names. And good point there, Phil Cooper!
