Caution: The Online Conversation

[BillyMac]

The interpreter of my local board suggested that I not use my real name, not indicate my local association's name, not indicate my hometown, and not use the name of any of the "higher ups" on my local board when citing their interpretations, on this Forum, or any other similar forum . His suggestion seemed fair, and not a big deal, so I made these changes about 18 months ago.

He mentioned this to me after a friend of his, like my interpreter, an NCAA Division I official, who actually went so far as to change his Forum name, his original Forum name pretty much gave away all his personal information, to a new "vague" Forum name. I figured that if this was a good idea for a well respected Forum member, who officiates Division I basketball, as well as high school basketball, then it was probably a good idea for me to follow suit.
