The above listed information is NOT a name. You're right, it's an account, just as cknight@crl.com is just an account, and you've attached the psueonym "Chris Knight" to it.
look, i admit i am posting pseudonymously, but your detweilerian witchhunt is a good reason why
Remember the price of being anonymous... Nobody has to believe a word you say. Price of being anonymous. You mean the price of being Obviously anonymous. As opposed to this "Chris Knight" character, who has chosen to show himself as to what looks like a real name. Ever wonder about Emanuel Goldstein? That name is as valid as "Chris Knight"
Personally, I don't care who you are. I do think you try to be an asshole, and you love getting on people's nerves. I'm not going to touch this. After reading a few of "tmp@netcom"'s messages, I aggree that he has been posting what "appear" to be childish posts. But at the same time, there are many other posts here on this list with just as much useless information.
