At the very least, you gain points for having a working social filter. There is nothing wrong with being real (so long as real for you isn't Dexter...)

I've met many people from CP offline. It's not totally about being anonymous; I know my posting habits haven't changed since I've started meeting people.
I wouldn't shout to the world Temporary_User is "John Smith" either though.
It's the same with facebook and similar sites, I don't mind key people being able to access my profile, but it is definitely a private profile so only those selected few can view it.

I've never worked for either company, but does anyone work an 8 hour day here in Alberta? (I know the answer)
Every job I've had has been 10+ hours a day, 6 days a week.
