The only reason I don't like using my real name (bit of a mute point for this forum, but it doesn't matter) is that some people have a hard time grasping with the concept that I may have different views than my partner - they either group us together or run to him in glee with what I have written. Just means I have to be very careful with what I say, which I guess doesn't matter but I do feel restricted sometimes in discussions for that very reason. It's not because I'm hiding behind a non de plum or wouldn't say what I have typed to others in public, a reason a lot of people don't like using their real names...
