I find it interesting that we need to point out that your experience is not the experience of all of us. Personally, I have slept with multiple people who are active on the board. There are another ten or so people who were active that I'm good friends with, and still log in from time to time. Finally, my *mother* used to log in and spy on me.
Having the ability to post delicate or embarrassing questions anonymously was the final straw for me to fully integrate TFP with the rest of my online presence. The "ask me anything" aspect of this board is very attractive, but so is developing a relationship with the people on it. Since 'telekinetic' anywhere else online is probably still me, and I've made no attempts not to tie in to my personal blogs and websites, I have no posting anonymity under that name.
I may be unique in my use of the anonymous function...when I use 'post anon' I PM the members who reply thanking them for their advice.
