I looked at the mult-year trend line graph at the URL.

Of course your position is silly because I can slap whatever "name" I
feel like it on my posts and you will be no more "introduced" to me
than if I put on my full name.

Since when? If anything, usenet has a long and rich history of
pseudonyms and anonymous posting. Much more so than email, for
instance.
At one point, someone like you insisted that I post my "real name" or
they wouldn't take my posts seriously. I immediately slapped a fake
name on my post and then they started addressing the content of my
message instead of the label on my From header. They merely served to
prove my point that insisting that someone else post with their "real
name" or "full name" is a silly position to take.
At any rate, if you want to be the Emily Post of Usenet, this is the
wrong newsgroup.
