At Read / Write Web (the blog that asked its readers to fill in this survey), they can’t believe their eyes —say it ain’t so, Joe.

At Midas Oracle, I insist to have people registered under their true identity —with some justified exceptions (e.g., Caveat Bettor).

I have been on the Internet since the time of CompuServe (back in the mid-nineties –at a time mister Alex Forshaw was still an infant), and I have always appeared under my true name. I don’t get the idea of registering under a fake account —it’s beyond me. The TradeSports and BetFair forums are filled with dubious comments from anonymous posters —it debases the betting exchange experience, in my view. And I won’t mention the insult e-mails from Ireland, sent under forged accounts, of course.
