A persistent, cultivated pseud is a form of branding, and I'm surprised that sites like Facebook and Google Plus don't understand the difference.

Good point (*indicates Neil-at-the-window icon as an example*), and I'm not sure why they don't. I'm not sure how much they've been listening to or acting on the intelligent pushback, either, especially when they need advertising dollars to stay alive and advertising is increasingly based on detailed user profiles. (Who's to say you can't build a profile of someone's pseud that's as useful to an advertiser as someone's "real life" stats and behavior, anyway? Which is of course a separate issue from the background building of user profiles across platforms for advertising purposes in the first place. I get more concerned by the year as customized e-ads proliferate and as devices and corporations make it harder to keep your information private. But I haven't read a lot on this and will stop talking before I say something stupid.) You're right, though, of course, that not everyone treats all of their pseuds with the same amount of care.

Con.txt again in 2014, yep! Every other other year (so 2011/2013) is Muskrat Jamboree in Boston, too.
