Hello Tommi,

 LL>>> name they wanted to go by.  But other participants
 LL>>> and lurkers were not free to do so, as policy didn't

 LL>>> their real name in order to participate, or even
 LL>>> just to lurk without posting messages.

 TK> You dont have to prove it, it is enough that you tell us so. ;)
