All I can say is I joined just last month and my first name is not Officious nor do I hail from the Little Prick clan. Oh, and as for avatars, that's not me standing in front of my wrecked car that's about to heal itself. But I wish it was.
I wrote "many," not "all." Good to see you are living up to your screen name... It fits you well! :watermelon:

I've noticed that many "newbies" are joing the SKMB using what seems to be their real first and last name as their screen name, while those of us who have been on the boards for a number of years mostly have fun/interesting/wacky screen names. Has FB, Twitter and other social media changed people's views on the need to be anonymous in cyberland? Interesting.
Signing up through Facebook defaults to your real name.

Well if I was 6 foot 13 or whatever it is you are and a guard medical staff/nurse in a prison (ooooh - just imagine!), naw never mind I won't go into that. Then again you do have legal weapons etc. :m_thinking:and can defend yourself.

I have met you and you're a really nice guy GNTLGNT :encouragement:

For myself, for the sake of anonymity, I prefer not to have everyone in the entire world know who I am.

p.s. I have to agree with the FB comment up above. I did find the movie "The Social Network" pretty interesting, though - have you seen it?
