I understand why people bidding on ebay would want to have usernames that would conceal their identity, but I don't understand why people on the board do it. In a sense we're a group of friends or at least acquaintances interacting, so why doesn't everyone use their real names? As far as what people collect, that's a separate issue and it is always changing. I think the buy/sell thread covers that for the most part. I say all those who don't use their real names step forward for those like me who find myself asking questions to people I've known for years without realizing at the time it is them.
