Perhaps those who call others "internet trolls" should reconsider whether their own behaviour is trolling. In the modern online environment, it is unwise to expose personal information needlessly.
I vaguely recall a rule on the mailing list, lightly enforced, that participants were expected to use their own real names. I believe the grounds for it was that this is a professional forum intended to facilitate discussion between professionals. Not some hackernet on the dark web. Did the policy change at some point or am I misremembering it entirely? Regards, Bill Herrin
