Years ago I attended a few hacker meetings, like 2600. I always gave my real name; Though, it would have been safer if I gave someone else's real name. They always gave their handle. You know what those kids did right after getting your handle? They googled you on their wireless! And, if you had a unique handle, it was really easy to pull up information that was definitely yours. But what are you going to find when I tell you my name is George?
Specifics aside, the author of the article is talking about security through obscurity. It's just that his method is to go so far left that you come back around on the right.

On an unrelated note, but I feel I have to vent, don't click the Options button below a post you've just entered and then click save in the dialog box that pops up. I lost my post the first time 'round. I know, many of you probably know this, but I'm relatively new here and this tidbit may save someone else the misfortune. *Grrr!*
