I don't thnk posting under your real name would change anything per se, however I think it would help new people to the forum better understand and identify people/authors/researchers to whom they could direct specific enquiries. Likewise IDs such as "Seaplanes", to use one example, are also okay as they help identify the particular area of interest/speciality of the member.

I do agree though that a forum such as this with its knowledge base and respected member list should impose some sort of ID standard (unless specific circumstances make such things impossible).

I only post under my christian name for no other reason than laziness, but would be quite happy to have my login ID changed to my full name: Adam Thompson
