Again, it is really up to the person doing the signing. I'm pretty lenient with my verification. If you have a few items with your name on it and at least one is a picture that looks like you, then I'll say I verified well. Some people are more draconian and only accept two government sanctioned, big brother approved forms of identification. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Operational/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
