(...) now there is little doubt. ;) Now that we know that he is breaking the ToS, we have to consider if it is worth bothering about (I can’t say I care).

(...) 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 (...) (23 years ago, 15-Feb-02, to lugnet.admin.general)
