User Name vs Real Name
Lately I`ve noticed the use of members real/nick name in postings. Just wondering, is that OK or would you prefer to be addressed with your user name, like Black Beauty instead of Tony.
I prefer to be called Black Beauty on the site, What about You...?
Of course this doesn`t apply if they`re both the same...

It doesn't really matter to me since my real name Deb is part of my username. I did vote for username though, because eventually another Deb is gonna happen along here and then it might get confusing. I don't remember seeing another one yet...but I'm sure there has gotta be a few here one would think. Either way, it makes no difference to me...I usually use the member name for others because it's the one we're all used to.

I guess it depends on how long I've been talking to the person and how well they know me. It doesn't bother me if it's a forum regular that I've been talking to for over a year sometimes via phone, email, IM, PM, or whatever. If it's 10 post noob I guess it's a different story.
