Why it is not done to show smb's real name in the Net?
Hi!
I understand why people use nicks instead of real names in forums. That's obvious... But I don't understand why they hide thier real names in their (home)pages or in e-mails...
Thanks.

SPAM in your (real) mail box.
Life treats by someone who didn't like something you wrote

THE WARM FUZZY FEELING of privacy in the net would be gone if one used our real names.

Haha... finally, someone who knows where the name came from. The fact that you knew that makes you a Star Trek geek as well

BTW, do you mean that you don't use your real name, ar that you don't show it? As for me, I don't hide it... I think that it is not so dangerous after all
