Re: Real Names

In the end I prefer choice.

First of all you'll never know for certain if a name is genuine or not.

Second I can understand if someone wants to use something else for a login name.

Third even if you use a nickname to login, your real name can be known or even used in a signature.

Finally there will always be people who don't feel comfortable sharing their name in a public forum.

I think that behavior is far more important than the name you choose to go under. Of course one should not be surprised that the name you go under can effect your acceptance within the TOCH! community.

In the end TOCH! is foremost a community driven place and that's good thing, IMHO.
