Hi, Long time reader - first time poster.

Why do people not use their real names in their profiles? doesn't this strip all credibility from their posts?

I like this thumbs up or down thing, anonymous poster should be voted off all threads for being phony!

(I accidentaly posted this on someones thread before, still learning how to use the forum, sorry)

I reckon the anon thing is ok. It's a bit like when people ring up the radio, or give comments on the telly - no names, but they provide input and sometimes their opinions are a bit more frank because they are anonymous.

Some do, but we are a rare and much sought after breed who shuns artifice and facade and lives only as nature intended, naked and bare for all to see the true beauty of the human form and the real person God made us.

It has been around 12 months since my last kite.

discretion is part of all internet sites,tis safe to use 'nett nick names'and when someone wants to know someone personallely they can P.M that person and begiven email address,s phone number,s and real names if the contactee so wish,s,that to my way of thinking keeps us all respectfull of each others privacy..........your,s truly Percival P.Pentwistle year right......

All of my friends call me "Slack", it probably gets used more than my real name, in fact my real name would be more of an alias. Comes in handy too since the Indian telemarketers don't use it and I know to get rid of them the ASAP.

I agree with 'Slack'. Most people call me Cores, that doesn't explain the '66' but hey, just like most of the postings, 50% is all made up!!!

Oh, remember, JUST KITE!!

Hi, thank you for those who have posted. I generally do not participate in forums and discussions. I was just wondering if not using your real name took credit away from the threads you are posting on.

And sorry to those you feel I am being fake. Unfortunately for me this is not true, and it is the butt of many jokes at my expense. Most of my friends call me "Dick", those that are not such good friends call me "Dickhead". The most annoying part is Cranium doesn't mean head, it means skull! I guess if you are determined to call me names you should call me "Dickskull", which sounds more like a liquor shot of some kind.

I think I'll stay back in the background and just stick to reading. Sorry to started an annoying thread.

Dick.
