I had originally intended to launch an anonymous blog. I felt that this would introduce some intrigue and would be a more accurate test of interest in content, as nobody would read simply because it was my blog. Plus, I consider myself a rather private person. After giving it more thought, I decided it didn't really matter. If someone really wanted to track me down, they probably could. And I think that inevitably, readers will learn more about me and understand who I am anyway. Hopefully the chance to express and discuss my views will be worth a small sacrifice in privacy.
