Some of us do not live beside our computer and only view sites once a day or so. So now you have 3 responses. You could be the first to try to set a path of self identification. As for myself, it wouldn't bother me for others to know who I am, some may already know or have an idea as to my identity by my manner of writing. As this site allows us to keep out identities anonymous I believe it does allow some to post replies that they normally wouldn't without fear of some sort of repercussion. I've noticed that most attempt to be civil in their replies and the few that simply want to post garbage generally fall by the wayside. I believe there are many like me that only post when we feel it is warranted and don't feel we need to be seen just to make ourselves feel self reliant. And yes, I think the hodgepodge of posts that a couple here seem to think is informative is merely a waste of space but that is their right to post what they feel. I tend to simply ignore the posts that do not raise my interests in any way. I do not appreciate the posts that don't contain much more than dozens of links or copied material that I find useless but that is permitted by the site so I just chose to ignore them and not reply.
