Nicknames.	by karl-henrik	2006-12-13 04:44:10
I have a question that I can't answer myself so I'm hoping to get some help from the rest of you, it's a simple but yet a very hard question. Why do we use nicknames on the internet? First I used it because I thought anonymity was good but I changed my opinion years ago if I work hard to create code or help someone in a forum should he not then know my name? Still I might be wrong maybe anonymity is good? I have a thousand reasons not to print my name on the internet and I have yet another thousand reason to do so. What are the dangers? Identity theft? If so how could they do that from knowing my name and what are the dangers? I keep repeating this question but I keep getting the same sliding answers. Best wishes Karl-Henrik
