While Chiefdelphi is a relatively tight knit community, its important to remember that we are still on the internet. Personally I see no problem with putting up a pseudonym. While you may want to actually meet the people you have discussions with on here, you can always PM people or discuss it with them seperately. I dont believe that having your real name should be a requirement at all.
It's not a requirement; just a suggestion. I think most people would prefer dealing with real names, not pseudonyms, but, I do realize some people are uncomfortable with doing so. Thus, it is, as I said, merely a suggestion. We can't make people use their real names, but we can ask nicely.
