This is a serious question for the mods and admin. Why on earth would it be mandatory to have real names in sig lines? Have you no idea just how easy it is for someone with a bad attitude to mess up someones personal life ? All it takes is time and a small amount of money to have access to very personal information about anyone. I realize most of the members here know each other in real life and hopefully that would be enough to keep someone from causing problems. But people are people and as much as I'd like to believe in the good of my fellow man, 53 years of life have taught me different.
I like this forum for all the fine talented builders that share their knowledge with each other. And just love looking at the various levels of detail. You may want to discuss this amongst yourselfs honestly and see if this really should be a requirement or not.
And to answer the obvious question, no that is not my real last name in my sig line. Ban me if you want but my privacy is valuable to me. I'll choose of and when I reveal details about myself to anyone
