Just love how all the people advocating for this system haven't posted their real names here. Which is a good thing, too, because I don't know I would have been able to not use that name and combined with the information almost everyone mindlessly releases in forumsto figure out where they live and sent them something showing how easily I could have hurt them, if I weren't such a good person. I mean, I've figured out people's real addresses from their email before, it's not that hard--people underestimate how much information they are giving.
They talk of limiting risk, and yet can't realize that posting your real name on the Internet is inherently of the highest risk. You aren't just revealing this information to people you've vetted, or to people who have an interest in keeping your secret. You're revealing it to complete and total strangers. Strangers you are playing a competitive game with.
