Re: What's in a name.
I've never joined any forum with any other name but my own as I've never seen the point of having a pseudonym, nor understood the need.
I is a Mollie and that's me name.
As to passwords, 'tis simplicity in itself. I have a little notebook with all my passwords to different places I visit written down. Nowt complicated in that.
Why have a username, but give your real name in your profile? That baffles me when you could join with your real name to begin with and then for folk to use your real name in posts.
