How about if the author of the book substitutes the moniker "Anonymous Poster" for your real name, "BoxSoxFan45?"

Oh, wait.... That isn't your real name anyhow. Or is it?

So, being quoted in a book under an alias like "BoxSoxFan45" upsets you?

And really, it seems hypocritical to post on a PUBLIC forum (you don't even have to register as a MEMBER to read FlyerTalk, not that membership is that exclusive anyhow), and then complain if you find yourself quoted somewhere outside of FlyerTalk/WebFlyer/InsideFlyer.
