That's a terrible reason!! Name your alias as Other Guy in My Town? What kind of idiot would do that? He's not collecting packages.

- ivalm 6y agoI mean, more likely to be primed by a name of a guy in the town then randomly selecting a low prevalence name that happens to ALSO be the name of the guy in the town. It’s not that the marginal probability of using a known name is high, it’s that for a fact the name used IS a known name that makes it suspect.
