What's in a name?

1

I’ve noticed that a good number of woot artists have screen names. Why? Why do you not use your name name? Just curious.

2

When I created a woot account, they asked for a username. I’ve used moles for many years. More recently I added the 1138. I think it is more interesting than my real name, Gern Blanston*

*not my real name

Lol. I wondered how long it would take before somebody called me out for posting a quote question in a non woot forum. I was simply born bad. I use my name…umm…because it’s my name? I have enough trouble keeping all the personalities on the down low. I sure don’t need to be validating them by giving them a formal name.
