I left handles when I left CB radios. Mine was school teacher.
I was hoping this place would be professional enough people would use their name.
I have nothing to hide but don't mind you using handles, it gets hard to figure out who is who.

I am too young too really of had the experience of CB radios. Not that we did not have them when I was young, but just not old enough to have been really a part of that, I dont think many forums even ones used by professionals go without handles. I dont see it as being unprofessional, just like cb radios being used by truckers, they are professional drivers, but still used handles. I have little trouble keeping track of who is who, but I also only have met one person in real life from the site so keeping him straight from others is not hard. I will also say that there is a push to make things more transparent because of negative comments, but I believe that by being able to stay a slight mystery it allows for us to ask questions without being embarrassed for not knowing something.
