This isn't about you proving you are the person behind an email address to _me_. I don't care. This is about the courts, and I don't think they will accept any kind of scheme about "only I can have this" type stuff. They want to know "who you are" so they can file their paperwork and check you don't have a history of copyright breach and so on. Its pointless arguing about whether I should care. I don't. I do not care who you are. Clear? -- rob holland - [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] [ 5251 4FAC D684 8845 5604 E44F D65C 392F D91B 4729 ] -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
