Justin,

You're right, in a way; however, during the past 20 years of participation
in this group, unlike most others, I've never seen any "bullying" which
persisted for more than a very few exchanges. There's been almost no
"flaming". That can be largely attributed to the no-tolerance rules of
the host. But the fact that the host has seldom needed to enforce those
rules is, IMHO, due to the fact that we DO mostly use our real names -- we
KNOW each other.

Most of us have never met face-to-face, but we've met here day after day,
yielding almost as close relationships as if we were face-to-face. And many
of us HAVE met face-to-face; thanks to our use of real names, we know it
when we do. This is, after all, a small community; because of the GMC MH,
I've shaken hands with our members from Britain, Holland, Australia, and
everywhere in between. Without knowing their names from here, I might have
missed those opportunities at the various rallies and conventions we've
attended.

Perhaps we do get a few more spam messages than we would without exposing
our names, but I doubt it.

I'm not going to criticize anyone for concealing their real name; but I
will be disappointed.

JMHO,
