Hi 'News123',

The message which you seem to think was a reply to you, wasn't. It was 
sent 2 days ago in reply to another message, not yours.

Well, that is - as far as I know - I'm not sure if you're 'Noah Hall' or not.. maybe you are? That's the problem with having an alias I guess, lol.. maybe all three of us are the same person and this is a big conspiracy by a proprietary software company to make free software proponents look stupid? Lol... :D

I didn't write that, lol...

..but I do think it's unusual that you're concerned about email 
harvesting.. yet post your email address on a mailing list.. That 
doesn't make any sense at all? I think each project owner decides the 
terms of their project. I feel academic pursuits require integrity - as 
all learning institutions do.. and accountability. Certificates cannot 
be awarded to aliases and teacher credentials cannot be verified. So, 
there will be no aliases in the FSU. I'm sorry if you do not agree with 
this, but it will not change - identity is important in any examination 
/ certification.

Please feel free to register for the FSU under your real name, not an alias. Please feel free to post reviews of the FSU after you have taken a course :)

It's very kind of you to make suggestions, thank you - although there has so far been no problem with attracting people - you appear to be misinformed :) I'm sure the community themselves will select a design / change of design of the FSU resources. If you'd like to join the FSU community then your views would certainly be considered :)

Thanks again!


Lloyd
