petermolnar there's a deeper reason in my opinion: the internet changed. Most people, who start or are blogging nowadays, are doing so with real names. If I look back long enough, everyone ran under pseudonyms, so some knew who the author really was, but the random person arriving over the phone line did not. With real name policies, eg. facebook, this is not possible any more, and thus, people can't become someone else.
