To Mr./Mrs./Ms. OLIVERFAN:

First of all I understand it is perfectly acceptable and within your "rights" not to use your name when posting on this forum.

That said, I think that not including your name or membership number because you don't want to be bashed is the easy way out.  If you have an opinion good, bad, or indifferent I believe as a member of the club you should use your name.  I have always used mine on this forum since the day I registered.  If you are going to comment on the club the magazine, the board, etc. I don't think screen names are appropriate.  On other websites I will use a screen name, but not here.  

If you want to continue to use a screen name you could at least update your profile to indicate where you are located.

Comments are good for the club, so I hope you continue to do so, but I for one would give them more credence if you used your name.
