[ Current discussion between SEEKER1 and Michael Bauser snipped ]

One benefit of using handles I haven't heard mentioned yet is that the
"anonymity" of handles and pseudonyms may help remove the user of said
handle from the "anonymity" imposed by their true (insert legal, official,
professional whatever here) name. I imagine many John Smiths and Jane
Browns welcome the chance to become "known" by something else.
