Yeah, I'm confused about this. Isn't the whole point of having an
alias to keep it distinct from your normal identity? Identifying
it as an alias of your normal identity seems to defeat that purpose.
I don't understand what you mean. An alias is just an alternative
name
for yourself and the hCard nickname field seems to fulfil that
purpose just fine. You don't have to provide your real name if you
don't want to.
By starting my reply with "Yeah," I intended to communicate that my
remarks were in agreement with yours. I see now that my "this" was
ambiguous. I'm not confused about what you said, but rather about
the thread subject of "hAlias vs hCard".
I'd also like to thank you for approaching this perceived
disagreement by calmly asking for and offering clarification.
Peace,
Scott
