I think it was just a poll asking for user input. I didn't have the sense that it would necessarily result in a ruling.

It was a poll to get a feel for peoples opinions. For now everything will remain the same.

Good, and thank you. I absolutely refuse to post my real name or any other identification on the open internet, for what should be obvious reasons. :wink:

No, "old iron," because I don't want people finding me and stealing my stuff. It's a dangerous world, now. :?

I can see where you're coming from. A pal of mine posted his real name on another military oriented forum, and someone use that to track down where he lived. They robbed the guy blind of things he'll never be able to get back again

That is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. :shock:

Also, here lately, it seems you can easily lose your job or come under personal harassment at your home for seemingly harmless comments or jokes posted online. I am SO glad I've never had a Fakebook or Tweeter account.

IMHO, you just can't be too careful these days. It's sad, but that's just the way the world is now. :(

We could use first names only like Romper Room. On a more serious note in addition to the property theft issue there is identity theft that is a concern.
