Saying that somebody is automatically more credible than some one else just because of the name that they are using might just be the dumbest premise I've ever heard. What you are saying is that if Chuck Elias is now posting here again under an anonymous nom de net, he doesn't have the same credibility as when he posted under his real name. That's stoopid! Chuck's posts gave him his credibility, not his freaking name.

Lah me.......too bad.....Mick, NevadaRef, Dan_ref, M&Mguy, Snaqwells, Scrapper1, BktBallRef, BadNewsRef, Tomegun, RookieDude, etc., etc., freaking etc.....these guys just aren't as credible as the others using their real names.

If OldSchool hadda used his real name, would that have applied to him too, Billy?
I agree with your point here...not using a name doesn't mean a person is not credible. There may be many reasons a person doesn't use their real name....most of them legit. However, you do have to admit that most of the "idiots" who show up here don't use their real name.
