That seems like a reasonable compromise to me.

Harvey,

That's exactly what I have in mind, as part of the signup procedure for our subscription site.

Users will be allowed to use whatever screen name they please, but the admin. will have actual names, mailing addresses, phone numbers and email addresses, which won't be passed along to third parties.

Nothing more than would be asked in a subscription to a trade magazine or in signing up for a trade show.

I don't have a problem giving my real name but I have learned my lesson on this forum. I no longer make any statement that might be considered the slightest bit controversial.

Congratulations!

I haven't learned that lesson yet. :-)

Controversial statements start people thinking, please do not stop. It would become awfully boring without thinking.

A funny side note about real names and trade magazines. Back in 1991 I placed an ad in a video equipment trade magazine and my brother dicided to test out the literature request. He filled in the "bingo card" (you know, the little card with lots of numbers for all the ads in a magazine) and gave his name as Sopan Aropa (get it? Soap-on-a-rope). He received our literature just fine, and since we didn't do mailing lists that should have been the end of it.

But apparently the magazine added his name to their mailing lists, because 15 years later "Sopan" is now receiving half a dozen free trade magazines and an average of 10 brochures a month. :O

Ok, I will continue to be controversial.

Dave,

I'm sure that's a common occurence. Love the story. :-) 

As Harvey said, any personal information, included in our subscription process, will absolutely not be sold, rented, passed along to third parties, in any way.

I won't be a party to that practice.
