I hate to be the voice of "the rules", but you are supposed to be using your
real name, not an alias, unless that alias is understood to be a nickname or
such and we all know what your real name is.  I know this was discussed with
you once before.

Look here: http://www.lugnet.com/admin/terms/?p=agreement

Excerpt of the relevant section:
(do not) Post using a pseudonym, alias, screen-name, handle, alter-ego,
meno, or any other type of name which is not your own or which hides your
true identity, unless your real name and identity is clearly understood,
accepted, and documented by the community as the true identity behind such
messages.

This guy has been posting under that handle since August of 2001:

Why 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 then.  He come online as this 'character' and seems
to have contributed in a fair and mature way.  A scan of a number of his
posts doesn't present anything alarming.  Is there really a need to bring
this up?

Allan
