At the time of the movie Smokey and the Bandit , cryptic cb radio call names came into vogue..I think that is where it started. Cryptic cyber anonymity just sucks, IMO.
The phenoma that I am now experiencing is that when I meet a Sowaller in person, and know them as real people, like friends like on Facebook, I cannot now remember what they're silly name is on Sowal. Unless, of course, it happens to also be their "real" name. Then, add an avatar (say a basket of fresh vegetables, a glass of Merlot, whatever) next to their "phoney" name, then I really get confused....
So...when I meet you just tell me who the heck you really are..and not who you think you are.
