Default Why do people hide behind a screen name

Posted By: James Gallo

Man my name is all over the net and even if you google me you will only get a couple of hits.

I can understand not wanting your name out there if you have a massive collection, and also that some people like to just sit back and not get involved.

However to me part of the fun is getting involved and sharing stories about how you got a great deal on this or that card and what you collect.

I like learning about new sets and I like a some one personal level.

It really annoys me if I bounce a few emails with someone and they don't even sign there name. I once bounced about 10 emails with someone in a 1000 transaction before I got there first name.

That is just nuts IMO, especially when involved in a deal.

Regardless this isn't a witch hunt by any means as I understand people are entitled to privacy, but beyond that what else could it be?

Also I think privacy is negated if you sign your posts with your first name. As I mentioned above it just gives a more personal feel to the board.

I am really bummed that the philly show was canceled b/c I wanted to meet the local group.
