The question again is, are there SOME APs who would choose to use their real names because their overall goals are better served by NOT being anonymous? Of course the answer is yes.

You're assuming that in-the-now survival makes for some blanket policy for everyone who APs. That' silly and obviously not right. I don't see how anyone can argue that ALL APs should be anonymous. That's irrational.

And no, Dancer is not his real name. God forbid.
