Why, if we can really only use our user names once on AB, are there so many Anonymice, or is that Anonymouses? I find it difficult to relate to the name Anonymous...its confusing too

I know what you mean if they picked a user name we still dont know who they are,so whats the point of being Anon.

You can change your name to whatever you like whenever you like. There also could be a hundred users with Major Look as their user name. Thats one of the things I love about answerbag. Your user name isn't set in stone. But I can see how all the anonymous users could be confusing.

I think it has to do with the level of comfort..some of us (like me) are open books..others have reasons to engage with others without revealing anything about who they are. I attach no significance or evil motive..I just think they want to be very careful..maybe they've been burned before. :)

Actually, since I've been cloned many times by trolls, I know that others can use my screen name. I think AB should not allow the use of simply "anonymous" or exact same screen names for that very reason. It's also very confusing see so many "anonymous" bags in AB.

I think there are two kinds of Anonymous users here on AB: 1. Long-time users who have left and changed their username to Anonymous 2. Those users who really don't have an intention to stay on AB. They usually ask a question and when they get an answer, they leave and never return. I do agree with you that it's hard to relate to an Anonymous user.

I think they prefer to be called "people of anonymity." But anyway, if they wish to be called Anonymous, that's their prerogative. I know I'd rather just have a name so that people could identify me....but maybe they don't.
