Tray,

Can only answer your question with to modify your name or change it officially but sign the post with Tray. Members involved in activism or have been interviewed or spotted by a "roving reporter"

are likely to appear by the same name in their different roles.

The stalking incident was frightening. It's important for multiple message board posters to use a different name/theme with each board. That way, someone can't be stalked across every post on many boards, like craigslist.org or selling something, etc.

Google and other meta-search engines collect large amounts of information from various sources and group together all of the postings from someone with multiple board postings or many many posts on one board.

Hope this makes sense.
