Also re: the name thing, I think that's more a sign of the intertubes now versus the intertubes in 2000. I used my real name in a lot of places on the intertubes in 2000, 2001, 2002 whereas now I only use it on facebook and linkedin, mostly because I have a little more control about what is seen on those pages about me. Sure, I want positive things to be on the intertubes about me using my real name (news articles, resume, etc), but I certainly don't want "Firstname Lastname says '[Trucker Language Redacted] your [Trucker Language Redacted] why the [Trucker Language Redacted] would you want to quit your [Trucker Language Redacted] GLO?!'"

Very true, people are much more used to going by there Usernames these days too.
