Ärende: Wannensee Conference
============================
Hello Roy,

 AL>> Please quote the specific section(s) of Policy 4.07 that specify
 AL>> this.  In Section 2.2 (Applying for a Node Number), you are
 AL>> required to provide your name, but there does not appear to be
 AL>> anything saying that you cannot use an alias.

 RW>>> HE can't, because it doesn't exist.

 LL>> Straight from P4 -

 LL>> 2.2 How to obtain a node number

 LL>> [..]

 LL>> The message you send must include at least the following information:

 LL>> 1) Your name.

RW>What makes you think that this cannot be an alias?

P4 does not say "a name".
P4 does not say "a fake name".

P4 says "must include ... your name."
That means an individual *must* use his/her *real* name.

 LL>> You must indicate that you have read, and agree to abide by,
 LL>> this document and all the current policies of FidoNet.

RW>Does Ed Koon abide by P4 or does he defy the possibility of losing
RW>his echomail feed because he's protecting someone bysides himself
RW>from P4?

Since the Ice Queen and her lackeys ignore P4, then P4 offers
no protection from any sysop.  At least in zone 1.

 LL>> Notice the word *must*.

RW>Where does it say that you must memorize it?

Feel free to read it.  Whether online or hard copy.

RW>P4 says that you only have to be familiar with it's contents.

While it is a good idea for all to be familiar with P4, that
is not the question.  What is important is that all *abide* by
P4.  Even if they are not familiar with its contents.

 AL>> As far as using aliases in public messages, it is up to the
 AL>> moderator of each echomail conference to allow or disallow usage of
 AL>> handles/aliases, by including such requirements in the echo rules.

 RW>> This is indeed correct.

 LL>> Please re-read P4.

 LL>> With reading comprehension.

RW>Why? You don't.

Do your own homework, child.

 LL>> Notice the word *must*.

 LL>> What part of the word *must* do you not understand?

RW>Irrelevant.

The word *must* is very relevant.

 LL>> When applying to become a FidoNet sysop, an individual *must* use
 LL>> his/her real name.

RW>It does?

Absolutely.

 RW> Quote P4 where it says that you 'must' use your real name.

Whether directly or indirectly, the meaning is clear.

 LL>> No exceptions.

RW>Oh?

That's right.

 LL>> If an individual fails to use his/her real name in applying to become
 LL>> a FidoNet sysop, his/her application *must* be rejected.

RW>P4 quote where it says that.

Section 2.2.

 LL>> No exceptions.  That is not all an individual *must* do.

RW>What's that, make exceptions?

Not even the Ice Queen or her cohorts.

 LL>> In addition, an individual *must* indicate that he/she has "read, and
 LL>> agree to abide by this document and all the current policies of
 LL>> FidoNet".

RW>Been there, already.

The Ice Queen and her cohorts have chosen to ignore P4.

 RW>> he's just trolling.

 LL>> You're all wet.  Again.  :)

RW>And you're soak and wet, again..

I usually am, given I live in the swamp.
