the greater concern

A story about Annette is advancing toward the top of my "idea queue," so I asked her what I ask almost everyone. "I'm going to write about you on Stank. Is using your name okay, or would you like a pseudonym?"

She asked why I was offering. Well, I said, some people freak out at having even their first name mentioned, especially on a page frequented by their co-workers.

"I would think the greater concern would be being called 'Dorkass,'" she replied.
