well, i go under one name (re "one of my real names I go under is Marty Ruben"). When i started browsing the internet, it was still new to many and i didn't feel comfortable making it public. you can ask anyone i know on the si (or elswhere) if i ever misused my real or not-exact name. in many cases i'll use my postings here on the si for reference to people i know very well that DO have my real name. i'm the same person and will not dare to say something i don't believe in. (i do give my real name to people who email me or send more than 10 PMs in a short time, which does happen often.) I just emailed someone saying that i wouldn't mind going to the ceo of (name withheld) and say what i said here to his face. When you see a good company that is run by a bum, how can you help yourself but kick him out? if coca cola names you ceo tomorrow and a year from now sales are down 50%, do you think I have the right to kick you out? I CANNOT STAND SEEING GOOD COMPANIES RUN TO THE GROUND, especially when insiders own very little shares. I don't really need to defend my good name on the si since you're one against many. But maybe you're new to the si and think it's a yahoo thread. good night you and all, Marty
