Since you seem to have nothing to hide and something to contribute, why
don't you introduce yourself to the group with some real name (any of those
you
mentioned below, as long as you tell us which one - read that as a joke)
and from then on just sign your first name. This will in effect protect
your anonymity on the net an make us feel more satisfied with what you say.
After all, you could be my neighbor and I would never know it. There are
times when locals gather for an exchange of info/experiences and since we
don't know who/where/what you are or what your work looks like, we have no
basis
for incorporting what you are all about.
Anyone who has the apparent background/success with a particular process,
that you claim to posess, would surely want to seek peer commentary or at
least exhibit his/her work. We all know that one can not successfully
exhibit their work anonymously. Quite frankly, I'm intrigued by your
boast.
So how about it.
Nick
