<< My personal opinion is if someone wants to use a penname let them. It's
 their rite to protect their privacy if they want to. Thats the main reason a
 lot of people use pennames, plus they want control of where their mail comes
 to. I know that several people on this list do it for just that reason. They
 use a seperate mail address to get their mail from the list on. this way
 they know what they are getting from which account not it all mashed
 together. So leave them alone this is their rite to privacy. Some people
 have small lives if this is all they can do with them! If you dont like my
 commentary mail me privately don't spam the list with anymore of this!

	Also, it's easier to make sure that all death treats are only in jest when
you use  a penname.
