Third, for the same reason I do not have a Facebook account and have never been to Facebook -- I like a little bit of privacy and anonymity, which is quickly lost when you post an identifying picture. Fourth, and finally, it gives my online colleagues something to look forward to should we ever meet in person  .

I think that there is something to be said about being anonymous, I am actually a very private person, but I figure if anyone recognizes me, it's not like I pretended to be a 14 yearold girl, looking for an older man

Kenny, nice to meet you, my name is Anthony NLN, the only reason I don't use my real name is that its not that hard to google using my name and this forum will come up, my picture isn't as well known

Hell neither am I
