Eric, I understand that it disturbs you that you don't know Hagar's "real" name. That is perfectly clear.
What I don't understand is what you expect to see done about it. Hagar confesses to using a pseudonym and chooses not disclose his "real" name. I don't know anyone here who can do anything about that, or even wants to do anything about that.

To be frank, more you insist, and more your behavior looks suspicious. AFAIK, I read all people are equal in the Apache Foundation, and there is sane legitimity to ask everybody in the group to respect the minimum : being truely identifiable. The question is imho very important : is it allowed to cheat with the identity, inside the Apache Foundation ? I sincerily expect the answer is no.
