Hi,
It doesn't need to be complete anonymity. Many people on this board know my real name. A good few know my phone number and some even my address. I trust most Lurkers not to put my information on a FaceBook page or to Twitter it. I trust them not to pass that information on, but refer requests for it to me. Privacy is not binary. Somewhere between 'everybody knows who you are' and 'nobody knows who you are' there is a comfort zone for each of us. I want to be in control of that zone, not Blizzard.
