To get more anwers in this mailinglist I would put your real name when sending email, it's a matter of politness I guess. ;)
I didn't wish to be impolite. Are there any guidelines on this list as to what one can call oneself? I used my internet nic without thinking when I signed up in kmail. My real name is Steve Sheriff and I live in Alicante. Is that OK?
I personally do not have a problem with that, but a lot of people won't even read your email on this list, if they do not see your real name in
and how do they know the real name, someone can put john doe when there real name is jane doe
They do not, it's about trust and a positive image of human beings. If somebody introduces himself to you the first time, how do you know? Do you tell him some alias? Why not? Are these not real people you are talking to? If they are not to you, why should they answer your questions, as you do not even regard them as important as somebody you would meet on the street... ;) Sven -- << s.burmeister@lancaster.ac.uk * sven.burmeister@gmx.de >> :: Have a look at Germany :: http://www.lancs.ac.uk/ug/burmeist/
