your real name on a site, etc

Aren't you risking your job by posting things under your real name online? For example things back here. Someone here asked me what my real name was and I wouldn't give it for employment reasons.
That's called seagull management (or sometimes pigeon management)... Fly in, flap your arms and squawk a lot, crap all over everything and fly out again... by _Damian S_
Most of the devs I work with know my moniker as I have been known to refer them to my articles. Only a complete idiot would bad mouth an employer where they wished to continue to work, if I did that I would expect to be sacked as the minimum response. Actually only a complete idiot would publish anything they consider inappropriate and detrimental to their employment.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

When I signed up here it was as a business tool, not a social one. If I want to badmouth my current employer I just pretend it is a previous one (not really honest, or do I?). I guess the only real danger is if someone takes exception to the amount of time spent on here, and the same for future employment. Whenever I have been recruiting I have stuck the names of potential employees through google to see if I can find them anywhere.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

... or someone remembers the tale of the fart that nearly gassed your family. This could potentially have an impact of future prospects... who the hell would want THAT in the next cubicle? ;) :-D

Open plan here, I usually go for volume over smell - I have had them giggling from 3 desk pods away.

Oh, sure. It's all fun and games till they start to drop. (Now that I think of it, that part is fun, too, as long as you enjoy the traditional immunity to ones own ... offerings.) :laugh:

You're probably making my point even better.
If I may be so bold as to offer a suggestion... perhaps 'Chris Meech' is a little too tame. Too believable. Maybe spice it up a bit. I'm thinking ... Chris 'The Disemboweler' Meech. Heh? Heh? You don't have to agree immediately. I'll let you think about it for a moment. :-D

Well, I do like working with chain saws occasionally. I'll think on this one a bit. :)
Chris Meech I am Canadian. [heard in a local bar] In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is. [Yogi Berra] posting about Crystal Reports here is like discussing gay marriage on a catholic church’s website.[Nishant Sivakumar]

'Chainsaw' Meech. Yup - perfect. A name that demands your attention. Or your arm. :-D

It does have a nice "ring" to it. :cool: BTW. Have I mentioned that Dexter[^] is related to me. ;)
