"Give up"???? WTF are you "giving up"?

My identity is no state secret. My call, name, and address have been
in Callbooks for almost 5 decades. From there it's a pretty simple
exercise to determine my phone number.

I'm not ashamed of my identity or my thoughts and ideas, and have no
desire to hide my communications behind some assumed name. Why would I
want to?
