I have a different opinion:-)

ISTM it's generally fine to use "Rob S" so long as there's a
way to track back to find a more real-world identity, which
could be via the LLC and payments or whatever, whenever that
is something necessary, e.g. in the case of some IPR dispute.
I don't think the real-world identity needs to be trivially
apparent to readers of the blue-sheets.

Separately, I do think that it's not ok for an organisation
to impose a rule on their employees forcing them to use an
initial rather than a surname. I'm not saying we ought try
prevent that, but it's uncool IMO.

Cheers,
S.
