Using Your Real Name
This is off-topic for this thread, but the thread is almost at the limit anyway, and this is also the thread where use of pseudonyms has recently come up.
I know John disagrees with me, but I encourage people to use pseudonyms whenever possible. I'm sure there are some cases where it makes sense to use your real name (for example, an already well-known scientist like Behe or a well-known Internet personality like John here), but in most cases this seems a bad idea. I won't try to enumerate specific risks, but there *are* risks. Just as I'm sure you all practice safe sex, you should also practice safe web-surfing.
For those with WSJ subscriptions, there was an on-line article on the subject today:
