I understand your point, and it may well override my need for anonymity, but on the off chance there are others similarly situated, let me explain my preference for a pseudonym. The world wide web has made virtually every electronic utterance traceable by anyone who cares to look. I have 30 years invested in a field that is so intensely conservative that many of my clients and peers would almost certainly discount me professionally if they learned of my hobby. Sad but true. My motive for anonymity is not of course courageous, but neither is it nefarious. That said, if nameless participation is or becomes objectionable to this group, I will happily return to lurking and listening, which I did for many years before speaking up...Dave
