No list like this is worth a tinker's damn that doesn't make people
register as who they are.
Just happens to to be worth damn more to me than the alternative
lists, which was the motivation for my initial response.
Less especially this one, but very especially the other.
Gee, I won't name "the other", now you really have no clue which one
I'm talking about right?
How many lists are there out there exactly?
Exactly, pretty obvious which was the list in question, and rather
it's rather disingenuous anyone now saying they won't name it.
For all intents and purposes Bill had identified it, and besides I'd
already named it, NSFGE.
Despite the drawbacks, (I'm no fan of anonymous trash), open
discussion providing the best resource of information.
Bill, your integrity isn't of any particular concern to me, just felt
you were being unnecessarily overly dramatic at the expense of that
unnamed forum.

I understand Bill's concern, and I understand his reason for posting
this. Jon Warren had a fantastic
movie poster discussion group which was essentially ended because
anonymous posters who could
hide behind user IDs which meant nothing could castigate, disrupt,
libel and otherwise undermine the whole
purpose and general good feeling of the list. Jon was disgusted by
the whole thing and the time it took to monitor the
list.
I know what it's like to be dissed on one of these lists because a
couple of guys took in after me for no
reason that I could discern. In fact, it was personal. People
behaved in a way that they would not have
behaved if they had been acting in their own name.
No list like this is worth a tinker's damn that doesn't make people

Somebody going on and registering with a name that mimes Bill's or
confuses other members
so that they might think it is Bill posting stuff that he is not --
that's just puerile. Should
not be acceptable on any forum.

Agreed.
"Truth be told, I have way too much on my plate right now for this

That probably goes for the rest of us, so the point of posting this
on MOPO is what?
Other that is, than providing ammunition for the vapid "competition".

Hello MOPOers,
This isn't exactly earth shattering news or anything. But I
recently joined a forum for movie poster enthusiasts. No sooner
had I joined the forum in question than someone else registered an
account using my name "Bill Scutta" as their handle. I seriously
doubt there is anyone else in the poster community with my name.
Truth be told, I have way too much on my plate right now for this
to really be an issue to me personally.
But I just wanted to state for the record that I have never used
my name "Bill Scutta" as my screen name on any forum, ever. I
have contacted the moderator, due to the fact that on many forums
this is an egregious breach of etiquette and my guess would be
that the moderator would not want this type of element on their
forum. I am waiting to hear back, but whatever the outcome, it's
really no skin off my apple.
Some of you on MOPO know me, but for the people that don't, I just
wanted to give them a heads up.
Best always,
Bill Scutta
