   Are you replying to a different post?  No one here was talking about   
   Robert's identity.   
      
   It's apparently well known that he posts as None , and   
   maybe other nyms, who knows, who cares.  I couldn't care less whether   
   he's anonymous or what his RL identity is or what his nym du jour is.   
   Anonymity is a good policy on Usenet.   
      
   His nuttiness always shines through.  Let the man post.
