Yes, wonderful idea. I thought the "ickna" thing was a bit overdone, and definitely baiting you, (not that I haven't, mind you....). I'm sure that there are limits to patience, even yours. I hope this feature is completed soon, might save you some (...) (26 years ago, 18-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)

Some people seem to think it is cute to put garbage or ridiculous things into their "From:" lines (in place of their names and/or e-mail addresses). My gut instinct says that as more and more (and younger and younger) people discover this resource, (...) (26 years ago, 18-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)

Be sure to allow someone to have SEVERAL email addresses registered. Sometimes you don't have a lot of control of your From address and it can change depending on the machine setup (for some reason I have no clue, my email sometimes comes as from (...)

(...) I didn't understand your question, Nick. I think I do now. Your From line currently says this: From: "Ickna" <ickna@nospamaol.com> which means that somewhere, in your Microsoft Outlook Express configuration, you have entered "Ickna" in the (...)

Nicknames are allowed (no pun intended :), as long as someone's true real-life name is known by the system so it can be attached to the messages they post. What's disallowed is anonymity. (...)
