First of all, thank you for your clear reasoning: I now feel more comfortable on my own investment on my alias; those of us that would rather stay under alias, I am sure, are glad. I guess, then, the real question would be, borrowing from your argument: do we really need the extreme case for everything, or almost everything? -- ..hggdh..
