Thank you

I must confess es7ter that I have often pondered that myself. I get a feeling that it furnishes a feeling of anonymity for them just in case they are recognized by somebody they know in real life. Or their views expressed on this site may be quite different from the ones they express in their every day life.

Oh, by the way, it's good to see another Aussie here.
