There was a stock board I frequented and I discovered an amazing thing. When I had a feminine sounding name, no one would answer any questions or respond to my comments. I changed it to random letters and numbers. All of a sudden, my opinion and questions became important. Posters were interested in my comments. THEY THOUGHT I WAS A MAN. I can understand why someone might want to change their alias. There were times when I wanted to spout off, but "JAM" wouldn't say some of the things I was thinking. It didn't take long to see that here on GC, you really should be who you are and within reason share what you're thinking. Not everyone will agree or appear to like you, but there are plenty of those who will accept you (warts and all) just as you really are.
