I agree. I understand the reasons for it, too. Being anonymous, at least in the beginning, is part of the freedom. By the time your friends know your real name, where you live, you trust them. And the mutual affection and trust is based on real things. Minds, I mean. Being the "realest" of things.

I meant it when I said I think 3D friends are jealous. They call and ask with barely masked resentment, "Am I taking you away from your computer friends?
