Wouldn't using actual screen names and sites be a good idea? Especially now that the pool of regulars is smaller, and reads are more important?

Even if someone didn't like their name used, what would they do? Stop reading about how their toughest opponents read their play?

If anything, I think it would be helpful to see critiques of play by name, even if it were mine.

What is the purpose of the forum ettiquette that generally avoids the use of screen names when/if reads are important and the player(s) are regulars?
