The "work around" for my username is something I just stumbled across when checking out the site. Go to the user control panel and you will be able to enter a new name in place of your given name.

The email thing...I'm kind of on the fence about that one. I guess it would be nice to maintain the privacy of not having your email address shown, if that is important to you. But in reality, what is the downside of having it there? Somebody might send you an unwanted email...which you could promptly delete?

Work around the email address by signing up for a free one at hotmail, yahoo, etc. Keep your anonymity with an "abczyz2011" type address; if you think you may actually get something worth while you can check it periodically, or have it forward (privately and untraced) to your real email.

All that said, I'm not paying $25 a year to respond to that message board; one can view it for free. I hope it languishes to the point they might reconsider the membership requirement and remember their supposed educational objective.
