I am comfortable with people using whatever alias they desire - There has not been a policy to date. In any case, it is not the list that defines the name, it is the 'sender' field of the persons email product... BTW, As a quiet person who has enjoyed reading the list (via digest), there has been many times when I simply hit the delete button, as a number of people were getting quite petty. I see the same behaviours amongst some of the people in other groups I am members of - It speaks volumes about the participants. :-( Just my 0.02C worth Hex Star - Well done for a quite amusing handle. Doug (For the purposes of this email - also known as >>> HACKSAW <<< , Sadly, my profession dictates that I must now change the email system back to use my name - Lest some of my clients believe that I am being unprofessional !)
