Oh by the way, I use the name the poster uses as a measure of my respect.
A nickname is one thing, but calling yourself rubberball simply means your posts won't be taken very seriously, unless of course you sign your real name.

The degree of this for me goes.
1. Lowest..a nickname, no info, no link, no address, no country, = John probably takes what you say with a salt mine, not just a grain of salt.
2. Nickname and a Name like Bill at the bottom and that's it. =4 pounds of Sea Salt.
3. Nickname and Bill but it says OZ = lets have a beer. OZ being slang for Aussie.
4. Nickname and Bill and city/state/province. OK, lets have a beer too. (I'm down to 2 a day so don't get excited).
5. Real Name, Real Place, a link, and let's hang out.
6. Real Name, Real Place, some gear, and you post a song now and then, let's hang out and do this together and have a beer, or I'll have mine and you drink wine..no wait, the wine was really water..so you can have water but I'm really against those plastic bottles because I heard 20 truck loads of them a day are being hauled out, and the city is picking up 200,000 a year from the roadways. At least they pick them up once a week...
