Re: (OT?) Coming out (name change)
I think it's common for people to use 'handles' on the Usenet, much like
in CB radio. That doesn't necessarily make them liars. While Nathan II
didn't really make his ID known, most people knew 'Tyler Dirden' was an
alias, much like using MABAR, JBJEEP, SNOW, MYDINGY, ETC. because it is
a fictitious name. I can see the confusion if you hadn't seen the movie
but I don't think there was any malicious intent in using the handle.
Had he used 'Mickey Mouse', I don't know that we'd even be having the
discussion, but I'm sure no one would have felt deceived. Deception
seems to be the crux of the matter.
Bill, I'm not sure where your correlation with the phonebook came from,
but I think most people have unlisted numbers because they want to avoid
solicitors or unwanted phone calls. I think we can all relate to that
desire. I certainly don't see how it makes anyone a 'wimp' or a 'liar'.

Here's another after-thought for you . You're the only one freaking
out over the public declaration of the name the person in question
decided to start using. Now I wonder why you are the only one it
bothers. Nah, just kidding. I don't wonder at all. C'mon, dude. If
he was trying to deceive someone then why would he have publicly said
"my old name I used was XXX and my new one now is YYY."? Can you
answer that question?

Here's another after-thought for you . You're the only one freaking
out over the public declaration of the name the person in question
decided to start using. Now I wonder why you are the only one it
bothers. Nah, just kidding. I don't wonder at all. C'mon, dude. If
he was trying to deceive someone then why would he have publicly said
"my old name I used was XXX and my new one now is YYY."? Can you
answer that question?
