But if I met a used car salesman and they introduced themselves with a false name (assuming the real name was known), it would raise some questions regarding the product they were selling. I don't see NG's being that much different, with information being the product. You have sparked my curiosity on the topic. Someday maybe, my name will vanish into the abyss of anonymity. Not so much in this NG, but net abuse always seems to stem from individuals that post anonymously. It's a license for non accountability and personl threats. In fact, the Fed's have had some legislation drafted regarding the topic, I have not read it entirely, so I can't say if it would apply to NG's We could someday find anonymously posting illegal, under the guise of individuals abusing rights. The point of the Klinton quote. -- Ken Prox
