who really cares whom Phil is?

[Jon Ford]

Jim-- since you have told us that you allow people to use pseudonyms when 
they post to our new list, we can't really fault "Desenex" for her/his 
posts-- Phil is really playing by the rules. Well, I really think we should 
change the rules, because to allow people we don't know at all who are not 
even using their real names to post is just inviting some possible bad 
feelings and abuse of the medium. Tell Phil to reveal his/her real identity, 
or block that individual from the list, as you have informed us you have the 
power to do. Of course we can individually block this person, but I have 
found none of the posts from P.D. of any interest (and one actually made my 
computer crash). With the cloak of anonymity, he/she might get increasingly 
nasty.
