OK, but asking more in general, lots of people dump on posters for "using aliases", and it never makes any sense to me.  I'm slime because I'm using a "more fake" name on a forum full of fake names?  What's the big deal?  I'd be surprised if there was a single real name in all of TER.

Now, aliases might be sock puppets in an ongoing thread / argument, I get that, but they still seem to set some people off as a thread starting post, where the sock puppet thing doesn't seem to apply.

Anyway, just don't get it ...
