Free cookie to the first person to guess my real name...

In short, no it doesn't bother me, I mean there are so many Sams it would be pretty hard to identify me off name alone - then again if someone really wanted to I guess they could find out exactly who I am picking up on clues left in posts...meh.

I think I would probably have to answer no to this question, it doesn't bother me, I am new here compared to many, but have met a few nice people in person, and quite a few know me, what I do for a living and where I work, not much chance of anonimity for me!

I cant say it bothers me if people use my real name, its not hard to guess with my screen name anyway (which is also a nickname ive been known by for years anyway, that and Em)

I think you will find that that site is just trying to index usenet, something I used to use a lot and something I still use regularly

my name came from joining to post in the stanley section and that I live in harwood!!

People who are none stanley from off here often call me red, but stanley people call me mostly by my real name Lesley or when someone I don't know at a match wants to spook me they just shout over "Harwood red"...now that gets me

But as I have just posted my name above, no I don't mind my real name being used

cashman · 13-03-2008, 23:32

never realised you could put yer own name when i joined, cashman was 1st thing that came into my head,cos a few have called me that, cos i always paid in cash,dont like cheques,cards etc n only use em if no other option.

cherokee · 13-03-2008, 23:52

Dont bother me either . although does get confusin in chatroom because of all the mels ..........

blazey · 14-03-2008, 00:02

I don't mind my name being used, and I dont really see it as a big problem if someone brings it up. I hate having an argument online though and the person your arguing with using your real name as if its proving something.

i remmeber early on the net's life people were very cautious about puttin up their pics etc on the net

now with things like facebook they're 10 to a dozen
