Honestly, I do not see how any of these changes would "out and alt"? I have been with KC for a little over a year and I think having names to put with the kitties would be a good idea because maybe you want to stay in touch with each other, or see what creations you cats have made after they have left you, or maybe you see a cat with some awesome stats and want to contact the breeder to see if they have any more from that line or advice at least. I too just skimmed the past 11 pages but it seemed to be a freak out over very little imo. Yes privacy is important and many of us have alts we don't want "found out" but again I do not see how this feature would out them unless you confirmed that "Alt XYZ" is actually "insert name". So lets all relax and be grateful we have such a wonderful and responsive team that listens to us and not make this more complex then it has to be okay?
