In February 2005 I joined Answerbag, an internet social site. My name is Rosemarie and my surname begins with a G. ROSIE G. Who are you?

What's with all the monikers folks use? Are they AFRAID to give us their real-life names and surname initial? What is it they fear?

Some use the same moniker year after year after year after year while others are always changing them. Do you name changers get BORED so easily that you keep changing identies? Do you do it to sandbag folks so they won't know who the he** you are? I don't get it. Why the facade the masquerade the ruse the lies?
