question to the board- anonymous?

I understand why some folks don't want to use their email addresses/names due to potential spam. I guess another reason is because someone could be in the public eye and doesn't want their name out there in searches. With how close knit our hobby niche is I don't understand why you would want to use a different name than your own though? I can't imagine being known as anyone but me (and my name is somewhat peculiar in itself)....maybe it's just a quirk but I actually like having my name out there. It helps when doing deals and so forth. Especially on this board I don't undersand .....The rules aren't changing I just think, with the recent "Pete" thread, that this is a pertinent question....There are many board members who feel this way about not using their names...So why all the anonymity?
