I never once suggested that anyone attempt to do this. I don't think that the impossibility of perfect enforcement makes it pointless to make rules. By the way, there are other internet forums where you have to send a copy of a driver's license or other ID in the mail in order to get an account. I'm not suggesting that this be done here, but it is done elsewhere and it can work. bruce
