To me, the difference is more a matter of common courtesy, and of following 
decorum.   Everyone (almost everyone) signs their real name on this list.   In 
fact, when I made my first post, several years ago, I signed my first name 
only, and was reprimanded by others on the list to include my entire name.   And 
that's fine.   They signed their posts with their entire name.   Why shouldn't 
I?   That's just one of the rules of this little society.   

A few individuals seem to feel that the rules of society don't apply to them. 
  

The fact that one can ascertain who the individual is by looking at the 
header does not negate the fact that as long as I've been on the list, people are 
expected to sign their real names on their posts.   It's a common courtesy we 
extend to each other.   

And it's really quite refreshing, isn't it, to ask for such honesty and 
disclosure on the internet of all places?    We can make this list anything we want 
to... But is that what we want?   Anonymity from each other?   I've said some 
pretty inflammatory things lately, but I'll sign my name because it's a 
custom of this list that I feel is one of its assets.   If you want to flame me, 
go.   It's your right.   But at least you'll know whom you're directing your 
flames at.

I sign my name, won't you do the same?
