Introducing oneself to strangers with one’s real name is a simple matter of courtesy. It also puts the bar higher not to use the cover of pseudonymity, *seeming* anonymity, to post pure provocations like this. > No one should ever request or demand personal information. > > Providing this kind of information could be harmful.

By contrast to me (and several other people), you have contributed nothing to this group within the past two decades. In any case you are not in a position to make demands here. Usenet is not a right. Go away. > One *SHOULD NOT* desire these individuals to continue reading one's > post. You may come back if and when you have something on-topic to say. However, I will not read it unless you post under your real name. *PLONK* -- PointedEars FAQ: | | Twitter: @PointedEars2 | Please do not cc me./Bitte keine Kopien per E-Mail.
