I don't see the point in requireing someones name.

Especially since there is no way to verify it anyway.

I think my real name is in my profile anyway, but it is put that my real name was Bob Bobson, how would anybody know that is wasn't?

edit: nope, I guess its not. Whatever.

I originally voted yes, but I've changed my mind. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Besides, do the moderators really need to be running around telling everyone to give their real name. Plus I agree with many of the reasons listed for not requiring a real name..

Please forgive me for going off topic-Is that a lizard or a croc in your avatar?

Nope, it's a Z-Rex. :D

Actually, it is a Mozilla from dmoz.org. They have a few and this one I created and donated it to them.
