I do agree with that, no need to use an artificial name unless there is a need to hide behind it.

Sheila,
Glad you agree

It was just a random name that popped into my head.
Manfred R. Bihy just sounds too regal to be your real name and must be cover........

Not always true - I use OriginalGriff because when I joined Griff, TheGriff, Griffin, TheGriffin, PaulGriffin, etc., were all taken.
Since I couldn't get my real name, I used the closest I could get.

But you are not hiding behind your screen name, that was I meant.
Cheers!

You people like names such as AspDotNetDev, DeathByChocolate, Slacker007, etc., but not Chuck Norris? 
Thank you.

You make a valid point, but at least their nicknames are original.

Nicknames are usual earned.
You must have had some over the years.
I have had; Shuggie, Bertie, Foghorn, Binary, BertronGasho and probably a few others that I can't remember. I am sure there are a few at work I don't know about as well, although Angry Boss was christened a few weeks ago.

Have you considered DogVomitSlimeMold? When I signed up, I was really torn between that and AspDotNetDev.

I'm glad at least you didn't tell me to put that for my profile picture.

Chuck Norris' account doesn't have a Report Member flag. Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks members off the site. Without even needing to login.

Total reputation of a member and color of member level (silver, gold etc.) is displayed at the answer. I think if the reputation under Authority (answering questions) category with the member level under this category is also given then immediately one can have an idea about the member with regard to answering the questions.
like 6.1K/25K
Sometimes, I have observed that a member having silver under participant category (which I think is somewhat easy to obtain as 400 points are awarded for sign up and opting for news letters and then 5 points are given for voting a survey), will be displayed in silver color, whereas his reputation under Authority is bronze with less points.

No, only 100 points

You should in my opinion. The newsletters aren't intrusive, they're rather quite informative and well designed, and you're supporting the site as they contains some ads.

Thank you. But I don't check mails frequently. Anyway I'll subscribe to support the site.

Im not sure about this... for instance members like myself have built up points under author and so I am shown as gold. However, while I don't answer lots of questions, when I do people seem pretty happy with the answer. So what I'm saying is that your idea may introduce a level of disregard for lower level members even if they are very good answers...

Agree with you. If I answer a question my participant points will show me as bronze member in Q/A section.

Well, I partially agree with you here in the sense that I believe the current showing in a QA answer of the total reputation is not useful: it's even mis-leading.
Why do I say mis-leading ? ... because total rep includes Lounge rep Points, which I consider to be within CP the equivalent of a plague of locusts on a Kansas cornfield 
imho, the only thing that should be shown in QA answers is reputation as Author/Expert/Scholar/Authority: and color: do you really need color here ? Simpler is better ?

I agree, blabber points make total reputation meaningless as a measure of technical know-how.
In fact I suggested long ago to somehow represent the combined Author+Authority points where answers/discussions are viewed; for the same reasons, my CP Vanity app can show total rep excluding Debator points.

First I think moving asp.net to web development category makes sense. But I don't understand why wcf was not included in the reordering.
Just wondering
Frazzle the name say's it all

WCF is not a web technology, so it makes sense to leave it where it is.
