This sentence doesn't contain a valid argument.
It does. You don't agree with it.
I certainly don't expect anyone who's done their homework to believe that koyaanis qatsi is my real name,
That's not the issue.
You're right. The issue is this: 1) you want me to use my real name, or a less obvious pseudonym. 2) I don't care.

I think that if Wikipedia is to grow into a serious movement, nay institute even, it's essential that people adhere more to netiquette.
Netiquette doesn't demand real names, in part because it's very hard to tell which names are real. At one point over on Usenet, someone angrily demanded that another poster use his "real name". The person of whom the demand was made was, in fact, using his full legal name. Conversely, I have no way of knowing, online, whether you're really named Jaap van Ganswijk.
Would you really like to know?
I have been checked out by several secrets services, so i'm quite sure i know what I am.
Have you been checked out by as much secret services?
Greetz, Jaap
