<<<<<<<<<<<Most internet posters don't use their real name... For some, it makes them braver
when it comes to harassing posts... I usually feel better about posting to someone
that isn't afraid to use their real name... it also makes their posts more credible for
me...>>>>>>>>>>>>>

James,

Just because you say your name is "James Strauss", how would one know whether or not that is your real name?

Would you value my opinion any more if my name was Bull Z. Rider?

How would you know whether or not it was my real name, with all of the weird names you see posted?

I personally think it is what one says that matters, and not what one says his (or her) name is. After all, anonymity is the reason most people will share their opinions, and I really don't care who you or any of the other posters are.

Take everything you read with a grain of salt, sort through them, and let that be the beginning of your research.

Above all, have fun.
Phil, (my real name)
