How did you get that idea?

There is nothing silly about it.  Posting with one's full name is customary 
in Usenet.  Because 1. it is basically polite to introduce oneself to 
strangers using one's full name (before asking for their help, and consuming 
their free time), and 2. there is more than one “Mike S” and more than one 
“Richard” out there; omitting the full name (first and last name) leads to 
confusion.  Some people, like me, also insert their nickname to avoid 
confusion if even the full name does not suffice; others insert their second 
name in abbreviated form.  Read RFCs 1855, 5536, and several Usenet guides.

Not with javascript. Nonsense propagates like wildfire in this field.
