To wonder why some people mention name change?

I have noticed some questions on here which include “name change as I don’t want to out myself”. Is anyone paying attention to the name change and wondering who they are? AIBU to think it isn’t necessary to say this?

Yeah it's completely pointless.

If you don't you're bound to have a poster search for your previous posts then come out with "interesting first post OP Hmm" which tends to derail the thread.

It’s to fend off the “interesting first post, OP” troll-hunters.

Oh I see. Didn’t know that! Thanks

And to keep the knowing "welcome to mumsnet" and "ah, I see you're new here" messages at bay.

Because the thread police are always on the lookout for new posters.
