List etiquette

<SNP>

ii) ? ?We can do better still. ?Let's (once more) follow Brian Ripley's lead
? ? ? and apply some pressure so that people actually post using their real
? ? ? names instead of handles like hotshot at awesome.com. ?We have nothing
? ? ? against GMail accounts, but we do have something against people hiding
? ? ? behind them.

This seems quite arbitrary to me as I can subscribe to GMail using any
real _looking_ name which still isn't actually _my_ real name.

While I don't do it I think there are real world privacy concerns some
people have about using their real names on lists like this and I
would vote not to require something that looks real if you're not
interested in ensuring that it actually is real.

Just my 2 cents. It's you're list so you're free to do what you want.
