No. For all purposes your real name is Brian Beattie. You might use [EMAIL PROTECTED] as an identifier, but it is not your name. It is an email address. Just like a social security number may be an identifier, it is not you, nor your name. > What does you government issued ID tell me that is important to > gentoo-dev? Not a damn thing. Have you not been paying any attention? It only shows that the person claiming to be Brian Beattie *and* has an ID saying so, is indeed Brian Beattie at [EMAIL PROTECTED] once everything has been verified. Nothing more. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Operational/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
