Ah, but you see we all know who J.J. Rousseau is just by saying 'Rousseau'. Nobody knows François-André Danican Philidor from Adam..and his name is too daft to remember anyway.
Blame Louis XIII for this. Well, not completely. François-André Danican Philidor came from a family of famous musicians including a great-grandfather (if Klassik is counting correctly :| ) named Jean Danican, but Louis XIII kind of changed Jean's name due to his musical skill:
Philidor was a later addition to the family name. Jean Danican Philidor was given the nickname of Philidor by
Louis XIII because his oboe playing reminded the king of an Italian virtuoso
oboist coming from
Siena named Filidori.

In addition to all of that, there were several other Philidors involved in music/composing including François-André Danican Philidor's older brother, Anne Danican Philidor. Yes, a brother named Anne. xD

Anyway, chess players know the name François-André Danican Philidor.
No...it is about meeting on a level playing field ? Social situations dont usually require mystique...unless of course you want to confuse, or draw attention to yourself ? :cafe:
*Veils removed please. Chop chop ! xD
@Klassikhas considered this and will consider it further. If Klassik does do this, wouldn't the rest of the Wigwam be rather confused if they find out? "
No, you're safe, who else but us weirdos is going to look in the Classical Music section? Their friends would ostracise them!
There is a good reason for Klassik's illeism at the Wigwam. Granted, it's not particularly related to the classical music forum. In other parts of the Wigwam, there are some members who claimed to have read Klassik's posts when either they didn't read them carefully or they're too daft to understand simple concepts. They then assume that Klassik said things Klassik did not say. :S
Since switching to the third-person, these people have either stopped reading Klassik's posts or they have been forced to read them more carefully. The previous issue of confusion has been greatly reduced. Klassik considers the use of this method to be a success.
Such measures may not be necessary in the highly-esteemed company of the classical music forum where Klassik has not had the aforementioned problems. Still, one never knows who might come in and make erroneous assumptions about Klassik's enjoyment of Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf bass concertos. :/
Is this try to attack Klassik day, does not seem to have worked very well from a 1st or 3rd person point of view :doh:
Klassik thinks the real reason for the jabs is Klassik's discussion of the harpsichord and French music from famous French people (or French-Swiss if one simply must). This, especially the French bit, makes one a large target. xD
. I know I appear to be cuddly, some of my neighbours seem to think I’m Santa lookalike, but it is just an illusion - as you may have noticed 
. I expect Santa is the sort of chap who’d have mushy valve amps to listen to mushy Strauss - Richard and or Johann. Mind you an elf full of distortion might make them vaguely listenable, although that really would need a Christmas miracle!!!
