(...) I noticed this as well. In the thread based on his original (first time to LUGNET) posting, it was pointed out to him the problem about a screen name vs. a real name. He dealt with it quickly and graciously. His real name, for all intents and (...) (25 years ago, 15-Feb-02, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) This guy has been posting under that handle since August of 2001: (URL) the sudden urgency to point out this screen name issue? In fact, it was mentioned by at least two people in follow-ups to his original posting. No body seemed to mind back (...) (25 years ago, 15-Feb-02, to lugnet.admin.general)

Tanya: I am not disagreeing with your understanding of the TOS, but let me just throw in that I wish I had never used my real name to use lugnet.

I know this was discussed with you (...) (25 years ago, 14-Feb-02, to lugnet.admin.general)
