It's quite common to be suspicious of an identity; one can never be sure when one is dealing with a
sockpuppet or a
pseudo
The topic of online identity was a hot one in 1995-6, when Sherry Turkle published her
<i>Life on the Screen: Identity in the Age of the Internet</i> , also at that time Judith Donath wrote
<i>Identity and Deception in the Virtual Community</i>
But you haven't answered my question: A coincidence you selected "socrates" as a pseudonym? Or was it by design?
