<p>StasK I prefer real names to pseudonyms. Now the clever pseudonyms are amusing but still have the drawback of lack of identifiability.  I don't know why community members choose to be anonymous and put no bio or a  very uninformative one.  But that is how SE does it and most users behave.  But the name userxxxx doesn't really bother me anymore than any other pseudonym and I answer questions based on my ability to answer and interest and quality and length of the question.  The users name never enters into it for me.</p>

<p>An exception might be if the user becomes a regular and I want to get to know two members with name userxxxx for some numbers xxxx.  then it would be hard to remember them without possibly confusing them.  Names like StasK, Macro and Cardinal are names that I now associate with high rep users.</p>
