What do you use your OSM username for? Is there any reason not to create <br>
an anonymous username like anon65498?<br>
<br>
I mean, sure your mailadres suggests your name is Philippe Latulippe and <br>
I can find some people with that name on the internet, but how do I know <br>
that is your real name and not an alias?<br>
<br>
