It matters that she knows who we are in the matrix of connection and community which is fandom; it doesn't matter so much if she knows what's on our driver's licenses.
I think that's a part of why I want to stop using the term pseudonym in these type of discussions, because fan names aren't pseudonyms within Fandom. They represent a persons primary fannish identity, while the fan term sockpuppet is more aligned with the connotation of pseudonym in 'real name' discussions.
