(Cast out fear.)  For a start, the instantiation of an object requires the 
allocation of free memory to store that object’s data.  Free memory is 
limited in a computer system.

I think you know what to do now.

“Linux” is _not_ an acronym.

While it may be possible that you cannot run Slackware on anything but 
Linux, you (still) can run at least Debian, Gentoo and Arch on GNU Hurd 
(that is not a recommendation).

E-mail addresses have nothing to do with names.  That they had is a common 
misconception.  Spamming is successfully done because it is computationally 
and financially inexpensive for the spammer; a profit is to be made from it.  
If a spammer would consider all possibilities of mappings of names to e-mail 
addresses, spamming would not be so inexpensive for them, and it might not 
even be profitable, anymore.

I have been and I am referring to the part of the “From” header field value 
of your posting that is not the address part.

> or to the fake mail address?

If you are actually using a “fake mail address”, which would actually mean 
that you are *lying* to me (and everyone else) about your e-mail address as 
well (“a mailbox receives mail”, RFC 5322), then consider that string being 
added to my killfile.  I consider address munging blatantly anti-social 
behavior.  It most certainly also violates the Acceptable Use Policy of your 
service provider(s).

Nothing if you also provide your real name, as do I.

That may not continue.
