Bravo! My only question: why stay anonymous?

    My only question: why stay anonymous?
    While the OP may not themselves want to stay anonymous in the presence of good company, perhaps it can be other things as well? Like a bad/restricted work situation and they may not want to associate their name with that?

    To the OP:

    Nice, I have not been around on PM much but yes, I have seen monks around here to be generally nicer than folks in other technical forums. However, like all forums, we *do* have a few deviant negatives - nevertheless, the positives outweigh all our negatives. :-)

      A handle doesn't need to be a name. (Just as well really otherwise this guy would have just cause to take his parents to court for crimes against humanity :)
