Radio 4 Afternoon Play

[EcclesCake]

This afternoon's play is about members of an online forum who find that due to a software glitch instead of their usernames their real names are appearing against their posts.

How worried would you be if that happened here?

[Smowball]

Oh good god - my worse nightmare!!

[sunny-dave]

You need better (or worse?) nightmares Smo ... :+)

[HowardKennitby]

Not a pleasant thought. I have scheduled that on my list of things to listen to.

[EcclesCake]

Given the writing talent on here I might have to listen this afternoon, see if I recognise any of the material!

[gness]

I`d only worry if I discovered I had been flirting with my brother.

[sunny-dave]

... if it features a bloke with his hand stuck in a (ahem) 'vending' machine, then we'll all be worried ...

[EvianBaby]

Not that bothered. Quite a few people know my real name.

And I wouldn't care at all if it happened on here because the name Jane that is currently set in my profile, with no surname isn't really going to help anyone. Not least because it's not my first name either.

[Smowball]

Hi Dave : )

[tonyav]

Oi dave, I saw that. lol

[factor-fiction]

Thanks for the 'heads up'- I'll listen in

[dotty.]

well it has, for the first 6 years i used my real name and then it was banned when the site had a glitch, but dotty is close lol i actually do prefer this name now as people seemed to think my real name was abit harsh!?

[humbersloop]

Thanks eccles.

Anxious goats all over the country will be tuning in, in fear of being named..

[parkie]

Wouldn't worry me. It might give me the 15 minutes of fame Andy Warhol talked about.

[mazie]

It Happened on here once

[mazie]

I wouldn't be worried at all

[gness]

Been thinking about this. If our names appeared on here I truly wouldn't look in case there was someone I knew. I love the images I have of Abers and the fun anonymity allows.

[ummmm]

I think most people know my real name.

[mccfluff]

hurrah, at last i will find out my real name

[factor-fiction]

I remember Mollykins giving us an anagram of her name plus some hints. I worked it out I think but I didn't think it was fair to post it.

I wouldn't do it- for example it has caused problems at work for some people I recall
