I guess I was brought up in the early 90s world of semi-outlaw computing where you didn't want people to know your real name (anybody remember the BBS community?). Then I joined the military, where in survival school they googled us and then used the information in their mock interrogations. They didn't get anything on me, though, because of my programmed paranoia.
That said, I hate my moniker. It was chosen years ago with no foresight, and now I can't seem to shake it. I am happy for you folks to know my name, and think this is a neat idea.
