Ok Lindy..., er Arte...

I still think you're Lindy, but maybe you're not, so you win.

This really belongs on the community board, but there was not a lot of response there when I posted it, so I'll quickly say what I have to say again.

Having a conversation with somebody who refuses to identify themselves is rude. It's like conversing with someone who looks in the other direction and won't look at you.

Nobody cares if you use your real name or not. Use a pseudoname. Many here do. Your privacy is still respected. There is no way to attach your IP number to a real person, unless you choose to divulge that information. (OK there is a way, but you need to have the cooperation of the Feds to do it. Since no federal laws are being broken here, that is highly unlikely)

So out of courtesy, please choose a pseudoname. To do otherwise is as bad as typing in all caps.
