I think that you are using the word “friend” too inflationatory.  This 
appears to be a common misconception nowadays (consider, for example, 
Facebook, where you can be friends with many of people you have never met).  
I have made many acquaintances online and offline, farther and closer ones; 
but my friends are only a selected few people whom I can count on when I am 
in distress, and who can count on me when they are.

Neither do I subscribe to that approach, nor do I think that newsgroups can 
be equated to a ship of fools.

Meaning?

A real name consists of first and last name.  Even in India, celebrities 
aside.

Interesting.

If you did, you would have found out that there is only one person *only* 
called Mahipal: an Indian actor (Mahipal Singh; granted not a unique name in 
India) who died in 2005.  And there are *a lot* of Mahipals in science.

But surely you can see that a single (first) name is more likely to be a 
pseudonym or nickname.  And filters can recognize that.  Granted, it is not 
a perfect solution (as the ’nym-shifting troll demonstrates every other 
day), but it is better than nothing.

You have a poor choice of "medium" (rather: interface; the medium always is 
Usenet).  Not only is Google Groups on the Web, which requires a Web-to-
NetNews interface (not bad in itself, but in the way Google did it), and a 
source of spam, trolls and other idiots thanks to the negligence or support 
of Google (they do not seem to care about distributed Usenet anymore, 
instead they seem to want to push only their proprietary Google Groups 
groups – nothing more than Web forums under Google’s control); it also 
produces messages that are seriously technically flawed (to the point of 
breaking threads by not using proper References header fields).

Fascinating *philosophy* and story indeed, but not evidence of any *serious* 
work in *physics*.  (Not that this would be required here, but you claimed 
that “[your] life [would be] physics”.  ISTM that you are confusing physics 
with philosophy.)
 
BTW, Einstein first used “L”, then “E”, for energy; never “e” :)  And he did 
_not_ postulate “e = mc²” or “E = mc²” – that is a common misconception; he 
did, in fact, suggest ∆m = ∆L∕c², but in words only.  Only from what was 
later called “special (theory of) relativity” follows E = √((pc)² + (mc²)²) 
from which follows E(p = 0) =: E₀ = mc².  (“e” is reserved for a unit of 
electric charge, and the elementary particle that carries it, the electron.)

I do not follow.

AISB, you have a weird definition of “friend”.  True friendship always is a 
mutual thing.
