anonymity is nice but its not all that important
I knew a couple posters prior to finding out their CP handles, met a few through organized events (like hockey day in canada) or gone to games with a few because sometimes my friends just cant make games so im left with an extra ticket
the only thing internet anonymity allows for me, is to be a little more extroverted, and thats fine because IRL, if you dont talk hockey, I prolly dont have a whole lot to say to you anyways
