Chinook, CBF was the first forum I joined and I knew little of the usual way of doing this. It is OK if your name is Keith, Dave, or Alan since there are millions of these in the world. However, Colwyn is a relatively rare name so I could easily be identified. So I decided to follow experienced internetters (like Scunner and Crabbit) and hide behind some other username. This didn't work either since when I joined people greeted me with "Hello Colwyn".
