After all, we all know only "immature individuals" and "malicious hackers" would ever use somthing as arcane as a BBS, or make use of a "screen name" or handle. And ceritanly only the immature would ever care about personal information being released on the internet, or computer security in general. I think that a UNIX system administrator such as yourself (as i'm sure you must be, since you put in your message footer) would certianly agree that anyone who uses a handle or screen name in a e-mail obviously has somthing to hide, and should be incarcerated for their actions immediately.
