I don't see the identity as a case of "not brave enough" or "cowardice". I'm more than happy to ID myself to anyone I feel has a need to know, and have done so with some members. More than a few have done the same with me.
Nowadays, it's not hiding per se, but a matter of privacy. Just because I can put up with the flak, doesn't mean I want to or must.
PM me if you want to know my real name, phone #, or address.
BTW - it's in the phone book! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
