John,
So you want BlueSky to change their name to "Paul Smith" at "New York
University", just to give a totally random, false name, example, and then
you will be happy ? I just picked a popular, real name at a real, big
place. Are you, or is anyone else, going to check its real ?
Matthew that is poorly stated. We want real names backed up by
affiliations that if anyone wanted to check they could. It is just
common courtesy, and helps some of us feel good about helping others.

We want BlueSky to ask great questions, which haven't been asked before,
and to follow the posting guide. If BlueSky improves the knowledge base
whats the problem? This person may well be breaking the posting guide for
many other reasons (I haven't looked), and if they are then you could take
issue with them on those points, but not for simply writing as "BlueSky".
David W has got it right when he replied to "ManInMoon". Shall we stop
this thread now, and follow his lead ? I would have picked "ManOnMoon"
myself but maybe that one was taken. Its rather difficult to be on a moon,
let alone inside it.
