In a perfect world - where everyone gets a group hug and no-one sues for
assault.... :-D
We'd always post using our real names... and not cop prejudice from
employers/clients/co-workers
Refer to rules 3 and 4 of the Hacker Ethic... if you don't think
anonymity is related just check out youtube or Ewebuntu forum posts. :-D
My name is on my posts - does it help? No. There are 6 people that I
know of - that live in Canberra, and post online, and share the same
name. I've met one who blamed me for his name being associated with Open
Source (he's a Microsoft fan boi).

You may even see people posting to this forum using their real names and
their work email - despite their workplace rules.... :-(

As for signatures... :-D   You're showing your age Steve (the vigour of
youth) - time was when you'd be flamed for abusing bandwidth ;-p

You asked... :-D
> Does anyone have anything else to say on the topic?
Rule 4....
