Suggesting people use their real names in mailing lists, seems like a
security issue to me, while it's not an exploit, it's not safe or smart
(again IMHO).

No but it does help in preventing identity theft, however little.

I really don't care if you like it. I'd suggest not quoting it then. Are you

whining about it. I might suggest taking this off the lists if all you plan
