Hello Alexander,

 ak>>>>> But how a person in Fidonet can prove that his name is real?
 ak>>>>> IMHO, I 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 understand why they invented a worthless rule.

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

 AK> But it is a voluntary, unverified name. If nobody checks it, so the rule 
is
 AK> worthless.

There are several free fake name generators one can use, with real
details that can be checked and verified, making any check worthless.

So what is the point in having a "real names only" rule?
Makes absolutely no sense whatsovever.

Unscramble the letters of my name.

Then know my true identity.

--False Oleo

or is it

--Loose Flea

Let me take you down
To where I'm going to.
Strawberry Fields?
Nothing is real.
And nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields?
Forever.
