Why don't people put their real names and photographs in this forum?
I have seen that (almost) all writers here (those who ask and answer questions) don't put their real photos and most probably don't expose their real names either (perhaps including myself - most of you never know). Why do you think so? Give me your best answer:
A. They are afraid people will know who they are, because they have posted shameful silly malicious ideas.
B. They are very humble and don't want others to know who they are when the readers want to praise them.
C. They are irresponsible of what they have written, so they hide their own identity.
D. ___________________________ (write your own opinions which have not been mentioned in number A, B, C above)

Putting up fake fotos and fake names is the smart thing to do - it's done for the same reason that we put locks on our doors - being open with everyone is naive - who we really are is no one's business - but i suspect that "A" is one of the reasons people use fake names/fotos - but others are simply doing it because it makes good sense - we don't know who the others here on Y/A are - they could be just about anyone, and, as such, we find that it makes more sense to "wear a costume" here ...

D. They are FBI agents sent to the internet to find and eliminate people who ask to many questions about the government... OR! The people are trapped in the matrix and therefore don't have a face of there own to use because they are made of 0's and 1's and so they have to take another picture to use...
Maybe both are at work here...

I just don't put my pic up as I only use this to ask and answer questions with strangers so there really is no need to put up a picture as I'm not looking to date or even be friends with people on here I'm just interested in answering and asking questions.
If you want people pics and real names you should probably go on Facebook or something lol as this is purely used to answer and ask people stuff.
