I suggested that a while ago, before I was a deputy, because it seemed like a good idea to me. But now, I think I'm more inclined towards the semi-anonymity of Deputy 1, etc.
I'm guessing that part of Bob's reason for this is so that he can scan the boards briefly, and see right away where deputy action has taken place. That makes sense to me, considering he has had limited time lately for that side of what he does. As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather have him direct energy towards the back room stuff -- maintaining the code, improving functionality, security stuff, etc -- than do the board thing, so anything that makes it easier for him to do his job seems like a good idea to me.
On the other hand, I also want Bob to be able to see, right away, which deputy took which action. That's just about accountability, and there are other ways to address that issue, too. So, I would vote for Deputy 1, Deputy 2, etc. My guess is that most people who figure out who each of us is, though, and so we may as well use Deputy PostingName.
At least, that's my very confused thinking tonight...
