You have never mentioned anything like that, so at the risk of assuming, I will assume not. But once that happens I think you will view the value of protecting your name including anonymity on forums and message boards a little differently.

Of course I have. Hell, 35 years ago, the Stardust put a $50 limit on my parlay card bets, but that had less to do with my name and more to do with what I was doing, and even more to do with what other people were doing. When I went to a window, the manager would follow me to that window to make sure I didn't get more than $50 down.

You come to terms with what your priorities are. If your priorities are better served being NOT anonymous, then you take the good with the bad.

You can't seriously believe that ALL APs are better served being anonymous. You don't know what their goals or motivations or priorities in life are. You don't know if they are on the tail end of their skill sets or their energy levels.
