I used to use “Slighthaze” as my handle, a hold over from the days when I would sign my code with “Slighthaze = Null”. I changed it to my real name for many of the reasons you listed and ultimately I felt that it didn’t reflect well on my business. Some gentle prodding from Barbara Peisch and Mike Lewis helped me make the decision sooner rather than later.

It’s been awhile now, and I don’t miss it (that handle I mean). Besides, whenever someone comes to me with a buggy application from years gone by that contains “Slighthaze = Null” in the comment sections, I can deny any involvement.
