Why did Y!A expose my real name?
I once had a user name that Y!A seemed to like to continually change to '?' so I decided to go with the flow and just leave it at that '?' I have been for a long time now. I just answered a couple of questions and suddenly realised, much to my displeasure, that '?' had been replaced with my real name. Any thoughts as to why they did this, you may be able to tell from my amended name that I don't!

The "?" thing was just one of the many loveable glitches of the old Green format.
it would do that all the time, to everybody, at some point.
I have been "?" many times.............despite never once changing my user name .
Showing your REAL name.........well, that's the first I've ever heard THAT one............but then, how would anyone KNOW that's your real name? It could just be yet another fake alias here, and no one would know.

Here is a good question, Why or how did they have access to your name.I have never in all the years I have been on the Net, Ever used my real name or address in any situation.Its asking for trouble, I have nothing to hide , for me its just common sense, If i know you or become friends with you its a different story.
