Lucia, Angelo Lucia, David J. Lucia, Julio J. Lucia, Marcello Lucia, Umberto Lucia. | |

Very convincing answer, by the way. At my beginnings on this site, I opted for a semi-anonymity by giving just my first name, for reasons close to your first reason. Only one year after I put (a link to) my full name. | |
| Oct 30, 2013 at 23:26 | comment | added | user9072 | @BillJohnson this might be different in different tags and for different people, but Lucia and I share the same 'main' tag (nt.number-theory) and this second point is something I feel too. I cannot know if we mean the same thing, but for me this is really not mainly about userxxxxx and also not about homework or alike. If only they would ask a decent homework question, but no, all kinds of people share some conjecture, speculation, idle courosity presented without having appropriate background. It's fun and it's annoying, it depends how one approaches the thing. | |

| Oct 30, 2013 at 14:33 | comment | added | Bill Johnson | These days I pretty much ignore posts by userxxxxx. | |
| Oct 30, 2013 at 14:30 | comment | added | Bill Johnson | Your second point is IMO a reason to require identity disclosure. | |
