Jay,
I would like it, too, if people would stick to one handle, unless a change is needed to protect identity (like someone is being stalked or realizes their original sign-up makes it easy to identify them in the 'real' world).
I feel that changing handles (unless people let people know 'hey I used to be so-and-so') in general disrupts the process of establishing relationships. And, it is relationships that encourages support as people get to know each other. And, since the board is about support....well, you get the point.
If one week I'm getting to know 'Joe' and we have a dialogue that's meaningful to us, and next week there is no Joe because Joe is now Reggie, whatever we shared is lost....or at least won't continue because I don't have a clue as to who Reggie is. Oh, well. So, I just stay out of PSB now.
