There can be other motivations involved.  Anonymity to prevent spam or 
something more loathsome.  A lot of people have unlisted numbers and
numbers 
listed under phony names for the same reason.

It can be that the person posts in one group using a name and in another 
group using another name and tries to keep the mail to and from each 
separate

Could be different machines or whatever, but used for sorting

Could be that the person just identifies with a particular thought or idea

associated with the name and likes that name so uses it

I wouldn't take such great meaning in the choice of a handle or email 
address for usenet as you have applied

Someone could be using what appears to be a real name and it isn't theirs,

and you'd never know.

I could get me an email address and call myself John Smith and you'd never

realize that I'm not unless I told you

That you are more comfortable talking to someone that appears to have an 
anglo sounding name is one of those funny things about usenet that lots of

scam artists take advantage of.  That's why all those Nigerians use anglo 
sounding names and trick so many old ladies into sending them money
