Are you referring to Dick or someone else? I was of the opinion that it's a general problem, although one certain name does spring to mind. I answered Dick's original post concerning the strength of Fritz 9. I considered it to be a legitimate question, even though I found it annoying that he capitalized his name. The possible sexual connotations of his name never occurred to me until now. I treat everyone on face value. I usually read all the posts in this forum, even though I don't often contribute myself. I only avoid threads which have degenerated into name-calling. Still, I use my real name, and I wish everybody else would. As a matter of principle. And I wish that there were some way of enforcing it, or at least some way of making it difficult to avoid using your real name.
