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.
So here I am all this time thinking your real name is BillyMac . Shoot, well blow me over .

Exclamation

I, too, use a pseudonym. My real name is Skippy Weaselpants. OOPS! Shouldn't have revealed that!

I am with Rut on this one. I have nothing to hide (my wife thinks otherwise, ). I have never thought it a problem to put my money (or my foot, for that matter, ) where my mouth, so to speak. I know a number of IAABO officials, including interpreters, from Connecticut and I am suprised at BillyMac being told not to use his real name.
