Albmont is an easy one to figure out.  I do know about nicknames.  I don't 
understand why people create false personas to hide behind them so they can 
cause mischief.  Whenever I run across it I wonder what their motivation is, 
just like when I see people deliberately litter.  Now I try to ignore them or 
just leave the site, rather than engage.
