Nonsense. No agreements made nor service/compensation exchanged.

Perhaps there are individuals that do not see the big picture. In order
to see the big picture one needs to understand the situation/concept as a 
whole rather than getting entangled on a specific detail.

  • The display name is usually under the control of the poster.

  • The attribution line is usually under the control of the poster.
    Either automated or manually changed.

  • The posters email address SHOULD be a working mailbox.  That is not
    required by all providers.

    ¦ Aioe.org hosts a public news server, a USENET
    ¦ site that is *intentionally* kept open for all IP
    ¦ addresses without requiring any kind of
    ¦ authentication both for reading and for
    ¦ posting.

There is no reasonable expectations for individuals to provide/receive 
identification. Individuals with this expectation will never be happy on
an unmoderated group.
