How many out there use their real names here? (vanity)

[Peter J. Huss]

Just wondering. I switched a little while back, mainly because I didn't see why I should hide behind a fake name.

When I started using my real name, I was a wee bit more careful about what I posted.

Anyone care to chime in on this? Am I being foolhardy?

Who are you, really?
"I know Peter J. Huss, and you, sir, are no Peter J. Huss......"

[theDentist]

I do!

[cynicom]

Foolhardy??? Put it this way, it is easier for the kooks to get at you if they so desire.

[cripplecreek]

I suppose i use a fake to hold my feelings of anonymity. It's not like i have anything to hide. My profile has everything i feel like sharing.

If your mom had named you Elvis Archibald Shaka Zulu you'd sign on as Tijeras_Slim too.

I, regrettably, cannot post here under my real name, as it might conceivably compromise my ability to effectively serve as the junior senator from the great state of New York. :)

"I know Peter J. Huss, and you, sir, are no Peter J. Huss......" Actually, given my wild past, that may be a good thing.

Some of us may work for employers who might look askance at our political beliefs. Remember--everything you post here is available through an easy Google search.

[Sacajaweau]

I know you're pretending. You left out the words "Ya know".

[The Mayor]

of course I use my real name.

1st name The

last name Mayor

What a silly question....

[MEG33]

In a word "yes"..unless you are a known figure like a journalist.There are too many kooks lurking to risk it.

LOL!

Peter -

It's easy for somebody who has malicious intent to get personal info on you and make your life difficult. Most Freepers are just good peeps you don't have to worry about, but remember, some hostile liberals sneak in once in awhile, and one of them might see something you post and decide to hassle you.

I'll send you a private email on this.

It might be better if I changed my name to my FR name, its much easier to spell
