Many people would like to remain anonymous because of their employers. I've found many large companies are OK with you interacting with "the outside world" on message boards and the like, even expressing strange opinions - as long as you aren't easily recognizable as an employee of their company. Of course, there are many reasons for anonymity, even if you'd like to give them credit. Some people call me the space cowboy, some call me the gangster of love. You can call me Michael though :)
