<p>I have nothing to hide, I just prefer not to use my "real" name due to spambots and other nasties on the 'net. I'm also actually more fond of my handle, than my name....as it has a story behind it, and I earned it - Long ago on another board far away some fellow was posting pompous pronouncements and signing them "GOD"... I got annoyed one day and responded in my finest fake redneck, "Ef yer Gawd, thun ahm Mikky Mawse!"...and the nick stuck. I use it everywhere, except here where I am ElMik because the stupid board program said the name had to be 5 letters.</p><p>Seems like every winter people run out of more important things to think about and this subject gets revisited on multible boards. There have been boards who listened to the gripers and put in requirements for "real" names and email addies...guess what? The trolls just make up real sounding names and either use fake addies, someone else's, or throwaway hotmail addies...You annoying the regulars who value their privacy, making more work for the mods, and only slow the trolls down by about 2 minutes.... Progress? I think not. </p>
