I have noticed that when I post a question or discussion item to one of Adobe's Forum Communities, I am identified as the author of my post by my actual legal name, not by my Screen Name that I set up in my profile when I registered. The same applies for the posts of others--they are identified by their legal names, not their screen names. What is the purpose of the Screen Name we set up when we registered, if not to shield the identity of the individual from others reading the post, if that person does not want to have their true identity publicly disclosed in, or publicly associated with the post? If I sign my post using my Screen Name, but then it is identified with my legal name when I post it, what good does it do to have a Screen Name? Is there some way to have the software not use my legal name, but identify my posts by my Screen Name only, if I so choose that option? (Of course, Administrators at Adobe can always (presumably) identify the (real name) author of the post, via the registration information associated with a Screen Name, should the need arise.)
Sincerely,
