Hello mark,

 ak>>>> But how a person in Fidonet can prove that his name is real? IMHO,
 ml> I
 ak>>>> can't do it even if I wanted to.

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

 ak>> I don't undestand why they invented a worthless rule.

 ml> it wasn't and still isn't worthless... it is a safety thing... if someone
 ml> posts something illegal, there's a known entity to look at since their 
name
 ml> is on the post...

Their username is tied in to their email address.  So it would
not take much to find out whodoneit.
