do I have 10 percent of the smart or experience of a poster who posts using it's real name?

The women tend to not use real names for safety reasons. Some men I have known do so because of their high profile jobs. Some just think it's fun. It certainly has nothing to do with "smart or experience" (sic). In fact, it has proven to be smarter for women to not do so, since several of us received some alarming messages in the early days.

The intelligence of a poster is far more accurately assessed based on his ability to reason and write coherently, not on whether he is smart (or stupid) enough to use his real name.
