On anonymity

There has been a lot of back and forth about all of this.

I admit that the idea of remaining anonymous is a little silly. Yes, people have used my first name a number of times. And I am referred to as Gimp, which is short for Gimpadelic. Neither of these particularly bother me. Yes, it's odd to stay hidden, if for no other reason than I think I know almost everyone that ever comments on this blog, though I have no idea of course about who may be reading and lurking without posting.

Soon I may abandon this concept, if for no other reason than so my parents can read about my exciting planty adventures.... But nonetheless, anonymity (or do I really mean plausible deniability?) is what I'm going for right now.

So those of you who do know me, please refrain from using my full name; thus freeing me to post about my speeding, not wearing a seatbelt, grand larceny, voter fraud, my importation of unregistered antiquities from third-world countries, my crack habit, the graft and corruption I presided over while head of Indian Affairs, and of course my status as a covert intelligence officer.

Thank you, and goodnight.
