Maybe that was just the local scene, which was
also heavy into CB radio.
My feeling:
Using a real name lends a permanence and signifigance
and professionalism to a post or action.
Using a handle especially a CB-type or phreaker-type
one subtracts permanence, signifigance, and
professionalism.
Expecting professionalism or signifigance on this
mailing list is perhaps being too optimistic. It's
wonderful to see it when it happens, but I do not
expect it to happen.
