Why should this issue be decided by the moderators alone? There haven't been a
decent poll for months. This could be a relevant issue and a guideline to the
men in dark suits, who are in charge of this forum.

Changing the attitude towards an obviously fake name, wouldn't change that much,
since you can invent a "real" name without too much difficulty using various
free e-mail services. Hans wasn't smart enough to pull it off and too active too
soon. However, it would force the anonymous poster to use another name than Puff
the Magic Dragon, Karpov or Fritz.

CCC shouldn't be governed by paranoia from a few members IMHO. I wonder if that
"Big brother is watching you and he's planning to do something horrible, or ask
someone else to do it" is more common in North America than in Europe.

A final thought. Are you completely sure that the "old" members gave you their
real name?

Best wishes...
