Of course it matters whether you do it before or after, because once we get to "after" you may have run away to start a chicken farm in Antartica and we can never get in touch. The courts may want to come talk to you, and telling them "well his email address is: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" isn't going to help them (or us) much. If we have your real and verified (by some means which will seem reasonable to the courts, such a government issued ID) name then we have done our best to avoid such a case, and they have something to chase. > Are you a lawyer? I'm not. If I were a lawyer who knew the exact details I wouldn't have appended "as I understand it" to my statement. -- rob holland - [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] [ 5251 4FAC D684 8845 5604 E44F D65C 392F D91B 4729 ] -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
