Just a question to you, KarinsDad.
I have concerns with people posting here with fake names, or nicknames, which is
your case.
I like to know to whom I am talking to. When I talk to you I don't know. Maybe I
know you personnaly, but I can't be sure, and I am not comfortable with this.
Also, name faking has been used by some people to put trouble in CCC some time
ago.
On the other hand, from the posts I have read from you, it looks like you could
be a good moderator.
When the election will be over, you'll have to provide some proof of identity to
Steve. I would like Steve to make informations about the moderator's real
identity public.
Maybe you already told us your name, I don't know. I can't follow every
discussion here.
Anyway, would you have a problem with making your identity public?
