You are missing something here.  "Mr." Corruptio Optimi Pessima's
primary reputation may in fact be under exactly that name.  Just
because you and I don't recognize it doesn't necessarily mean much.

Take me, for example.  Everything I send out goes out under the name
"der Mouse" (see the signature).  That is the name under which I have
what reputation I have; my mundane name doesn't mean diddly to anyone
(well, anyone in computer circles) and signing email with it *would* be
hiding.  (What is it?  Look it up yourself.  I know of at least two
public databases it can be found in.)
