Default Why do people hide behind a screen name

Posted By: James Gallo

This is something I have been wondering since I started reading this board.

a good amount of people have a random screen name and don't sign there posts.

What is the point of this.

I use my full name and always sign my post in the same manner as I would a letter I would hand write to someone.

I find it a bit odd and sometimes annoying that people hide behind a screen name. There have been a few cases where I wanted to contact someone but there email wasn't listed.

I also think that by using your real name as your log in or at least signing your posts that it makes the place more friendly and seems truly like collectors having a conversation.

I was part of a "movement" where people started using there real name more often and found that people became more friendly and accessible.

Just a random thought that has been on my mind for a slow Monday night.
