Real name (basically, I add "NY" at the end).

Long story, get your hanky.

I just find it's better to use my real name, and post stuff I won't regret. It won't hurt me, and can benefit me.

My concern is stuff that can get you in trouble can change. Jews in 1920’s Germany probably(?) didn’t think there was any reason to hide that they were Jews.
Valid, but, as I have learned, if someone really wants to find me, they probably can, unless I am willing to go to extraordinary lengths to remain anonymous, and I just don't have enough time, left on Earth, to warrant that.

Also, I kind of enjoy being the type of person that chooses not to go dark.

I also have NY at the end of my name for New York!
