How "real" is the Internet?

[Teuthida]

I was with you KG until I started using the web for my job. Other than here, most other places I'll use my real name and conduct myself as I would in the real world. Have to act professional. I still don't used Facebook and don't converse with anyone online that I knew first in real life. Then again I'm an anti-social misanthrope so there's that.

I do miss the anonymous days. I'll frequently use different names to comment on podcasts but that's about it.
