The commotion, dear sir, is our innate distrust - born of sad experience - of those who insist on remaining incognito. You will note that MLU is perhaps unique in the field of military forums in that most members not only use their own names, but even in cases where not, have no objections to identifying themselves above and beyond their monikers.

For some reason you are resisting this - how can we not be suspicious?

I'll leave that with you. Trust me, were it possible, positive IDs WOULD be a condition of membership here.
