Name Changes

Can someone explain to me why people feel the need to say that they have name changed when posting? If you are trying to protect your identity, why not just let people think you are a new poster instead of telling people that you have other posts?

Just an idle thought I had while reading a post asking if people had been outted on Mumsnet.

Because readers and contributers are often wary or sceptical about new posters.

Because a regular poster is less likely to be a troll than done one who has just joined.

Because a new poster or a name changer constantly get... nice first post op Hmm
