"A sockpuppet is an online identity used for purposes of deception within an online community." The rash of posts by "Jane Smith" and "80 m" are examples sockpuppetry at its worst. If you care for this kind of thing, take it elsewhere. It's not big, it's not clever, it's not funny, and most of all, it's not something we accept here. For the avoidance of doubt, there's a difference between sockpuppetry and pseudonyms. And if you disagree with the use of pseudonyms within our community, then take the matter up directly, rather than with such stupid mailing list posts as we've seen over the last few days. Let me remind you that legal-talk, like our other mailing lists, is here for constructive, positive discussion (and positive, constructive disagreement too), not for sending anonymous abusive emails to and/or regarding other people in the community.
