If I may, nopoo2, the "no name" rule means we are not to name other posters, for it usually implies a personal (and ad hominem) attack, and hence does not add to the discussion in a positive way.

You are certainly free to use your own name, and I think it's commendable that you do. In fact, I know some on Agoracom use their real name and photo, instead of a nickname and avatar - Larry Hoover comes to mind. Lots more credibility when that is done, in my opinion.
