Shiny,
Is Vtoss on this list? It would appear experts that write articles about aviation safety are...

I myself thought it was a dick move to post people's supposed identity, but I guess I was wrong. Anyway, here are Strega's planes. Just one half-share in a Warrior.
PS, I've never claimed to be an expert.

Is that Decathlon yours? I don't see your fabled C340 there. Ok, so you have one and a half planes (I was too lazy to check if your delaware company had any new planes), and your cherokee did used to be red before the accident. Not exactly the 5 planes you claimed to have.

That clarifies what you know about that. Nothing.
Let's see your pilot licence, Captain Crap,
with all your ex-mil jet type ratings.

What's to be gained here?

Internet points. I don't know what you use them for but it must be pretty awesome.

Everyone using a screen name will be embarrassed by posting anonymously.
Then they will post a picture of a letter of apology with their signature and pilot's license number.

Actually, what the hell good is knowing someone's
pilot licence number?
Can you get a credit card based on it? A mortgage?
Or more likely a payday loan?

Most of us are aware this forum is a screen name, right?
What difference does using your real name on the Internet ever make?
Someone could sign up with what looks like a real name and if there is no usefull content, you will probably spot it sooner than me, but neither of us will be bothered to pretend we have met a new friend here. Most spam bots use a regular sounding name. Depending on content, I'm more suspicious of posts made using a regular sounding name than a screen name.
There are plenty of great posters on AvCanada that I like to interact with. I believe all the ones I have met in person, use anonymous screen names. I don't need to know who they are. Ok, at the time I needed to know who shiny was because I received flight training from him. That is an exception though.
I want decent content. I am probably much less particular about what that means.
Colonel Sanders has a pretty obvious vibe posting. We have exactly the same conversations for the most part and both of us have gone through several screen names, he is using one now.
I guess I have interacted in real life with a lot of people with nicknames. I have no problem meeting people in real life and calling them a nickname other people use.
If everyone calls a person something, I can do that too. I'm not a grandmother and unable to refer to people by anything other than their full given name.
Good point about mortgages. Do we want renters posting here?
