This came out of their postings alone. I had more the impression that both Kevin and Peter wrote much more about "personal" data than I would expect if really some individual being in trouble would publish. For instance the whole divorce story. Why was it posted by the persons concerned? This alone speaks against them. The puzzle of identity has direct importance for this forum when it comes to elections and so on. So, I can see no reason why the puzzle shouldn't be solved. There is also a general importance because the question of a computerchess tournament was suddenly ended by Kevin. It would be a pity if now this question would be tabooed too. We should find better differentiations. I see no sense in ending the debate because these people for whose privacy we should end the debate have published their own private details! Rolf Tueschen
