Mornin' :)
I know this is an odd question but it's one that's sometimes puzzled me given the nature of USENET, and since this group is perched precarously in Real World (tm) territory it seems a good place to ask.
USENET being what it is means I've had this name - witchy - since
1995; back then I wasn't into DIY as I am now. After a period of anonymousness (internet user since 1993) I took a name from the rather excellent Neil Gaiman/Terry Pratchett book 'Good Omens' - Witchfinder.Human nature being what it is 'witchfinder' was quickly shortened to 'witchy'
Question for the group - does a real username give credibility to a posting, or is it more the nature of the question? The vast majority of the people who post here use (I assume) their real name and it seems most of the 'odd' questions are posted by people who don't. (Natural Philosopher and BigWallop notwithstanding :o) - you know what I mean!)
