Hi Pilot,

Just as a matter of interest why don't you publish articles using your nickname.

My own view is it doesn't really matter whether you use your real name or a nickname as it's the quality and nature of the post itself that matters. People will soon realise if someone is asking serious questions or just trying to cause trouble. If someone is just trying to start an argument then people can just avoid the discussion. There is nothing stopping people registering under false names anyway - if some one is posting as John Smith or Smith123 what's the difference, neither may bear any relation to their real name.

Best Regards

Andy Fletcher
