Long term, though, nothing on the web is private. Even if you think people won't find your URL, they always eventually do. Blogging with full identity disclosed does encourage more responsibility.

I agree that there are no reasons to be deceitful, but this gets complicated in the corporate sphere. Also, if we're writing about topics that might offend our friends and family, or which might embarrass ourselves, then it's easier to be less honest. Dandy, thanks for your note.

I think most people think they have nothing to say. But it takes a while for it to come out, and for people to learn to express themselves effectively with words.
