Albmont is an easy one to figure out. I do know about nicknames. I don't
understand why people create false personas to hide behind them so they can
cause mischief. Whenever I run across it I wonder what their motivation is,
just like when I see people deliberately litter. Now I try to ignore them or
just leave the site, rather than engage.
