I guess we just disagree on this as I think that a person using their real name could get banned, get a new Email address, and then sign on using a fake name that sounds real. So from my point of view, there is really little difference since in both cases, a banned person could get back on. >I don't think I made a single comment about the quality of you posts. I didn't think I made a single comment about you commenting on the quality of my posts. My comments were merely on your comment that I could (and hence might by implication) change my handle, not on the quality of my posts. My statement that "It's interesting that you consider it of me based not on the contents of my postings (and hence my current reputation), but rather on my name." refers to the implication that you feel that I might change my handle or name merely due to the fact that I am using a handle. It implies that a person using a real name could not or would not do this (by default). Again, basically semantics. >Actually, I rather enjoy reading them. Well, thank you. You have restored my faith in my fellow man. It's good to know that we can disagree, but still respect each other and enjoy each other's contributions. > >PK. Rxd4!! Have to remember that one. :) :) KarinsDad
