Yes, it would be possible. It, however, will not be practiced, at least by the person you
are directing this part of your message to. I have very particular reasons to mind my
privacy, none of which I'll discuss, thank you, because I won't be convinced
otherwise.
I certainly don't expect anyone who's done their homework to believe that koyaanis
qatsi is my real name, however it is as convenient a handle as my real name, which is
possibly less believable.
If the pseudonym is distasteful to you, perhaps you can suggest one you like better.
Louis Friend is one you may recognize, or if not, perhaps "Mark Twain." I'm
the same person I've been for the last 27 years, at any rate, 1 1/2 of them on
wikipedia, and I believe a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
