Corner cases are the ones which should be solved by working out case-by-case solutions. If the volume of corner cases becomes high, then a different overall approach would need to be adopted. Since I have been involved with the MLC, I have only seen one specific case where there was not a workable solution which enabled an individual to continue posting. One case in multiple years isn't bad. > > Of course, I could be missing something... > > To : David Barak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Perhaps I'm missing something here ;> Is that your > professional email > address? *grin* That's what I am describing: attach a real name to a handle (much the way Etaoin Shrdlu did).
