name changing

I don't like name changing in the ordinary way of posting. In the end you don't know who you are talking to. I can see the need if you are posting something that causes you embarrassment.

Just resurrected this thread to see what the current feeling is on name-changing.
I haven't completed my profile (although I would like to do so) because I am worried about being identified in real life when I contribute to a sensitive thread. This is an open forum and I wouldn't like to give out information about family members.
I can see the reasons for not allowing name changing, I just wish there was some way of remaining anonymous on occasions.

Its there in the rules and regs, although I can't recall the wording.

If we can't change, perhaps GN HQ can explain why? There must be a reason.

Dont think you can over here, think it may be a good idea though!

I dont think we can change.
