Well, vorlon, it worked last time
. The responses resulted in a great series of adventures for my wife and I. As for the reason I use an alias:
I understand that I lose some 'street cred' and am willing to take this loss for the purpose of being able to get feedback without causing drama. Perhaps a gal that I've seen before fits the bill and knows me by my main handle. Looking for variety is important to me and it has, in the past, caused jealousy and hurt feelings.
Secondarily, I have an unfounded suspicion that my 'resume' may skew people to assume certain things and give feedback based on what my reviews have been.
Lastly, I've been super lax about submitting reviews in the last few years. I understand that the community relies on reviews and I am currently in communication with mods to be able to submit these reviews (without getting VIP credits) so that I can build that history back up and contribute to reviews. So, I'm kinda embarrassed by my lack of reviewing and am hiding from that.
If you PM me, I'd be happy to share with you my handle, but fundamentally I think it's somewhat irrelevant. I am a VIP member, as you can see, and have been a member for a long time. I think using an alias is better suited for this purpose and is fairly benign compared to the purpose of stirring anonymous drama or any other common uses.
