Yes, Tony, most of us here have no problem using our real names, at the very least, our real first name.

It's also nice to see the person's photo being used as their avatar as it makes us feel we know them just a little bit better. It probably shouldn't be this way, but, we tend to find these people easier to trust and they are usually up front with everything.

I suppose some people have a need to remain anonymous, and perhaps it is necessary for them to use queer user names that are difficult to spell, and even harder to interpret, especially when these names have nothing whatsoever to do with music.

Oh well, it takes all kinds.
